Bradford on Avon

Conversation flows, dull 

But not dark

Meandering to no end

Like the river below

Clouds darken

Threatening to break the peace

Only to slowly drift

And spoil cricket elsewhere

A wasp, like a sentry

Checks me out, whilst

A fish breaks the surface 

Catching the angler’s eye

An English summer Sunday

By the river

Understated yet glorious

In its quiet flow
