Windowless day

 Little bit of rain

Little of wind

Shaking the stems

Moving the strings

Playing the tunes on the violin

Crickets rubbing legs

Trunks entwined twisting

Whistling and creaking

And Praising like a shaker

Devout in wind bowing

Bouquet of flowers bending

Breaking the bough

The whole howling orchestra knowing

Conducting these instruments of woodwind blowing

Clarinet of lime, bassoon of bowling ash

Proud deep oboe of pine

Brass tacks failing

As the barbed wire fence is plucked out

The catastrophic beat of the Oak drums thump

As they fall in the fields

Where the rain is hurled

Like sweeping bows that dart

Back and forth as tiny fish in a pool
