On Time

Five o-clock
In these Italian hills
The birds hide in the mountain oaks
A cuckoo calls high upon
A distant wire
We reach for the binoculars
But the rogue’s gone
Hans says
Now we’ll have to wait an hour
For another

These are from a holiday in Italy a couple of years ago. I've a feeling I've posted this one before. Apologies if I have.

Life's all about a happy marriage of providence and opportunity.

I have a sheep clock in the hall but it's scared of the dog so it sneeks the hour.

Hi, Sue. Welcome to blogging. Like your poems BTW.

Clicking on highlighted names will take you to their blogs.

Ah, lovely indeed. And you can't go wrong with a name like HANS in a poem ;).

I certainly DO like sneezing! And I hope by the excited manner in which you posted on my blog you like to as well!? Sneezing is wonderful fun! Except after...when you get snotty. :)

Gladys Millhammer was not in the mood
To stand waiting for the silly birds
Disguntled, shuffling, checking her watch
She missed the melodic grossbills
words.
