A bee sipping nectar from a flower
A sparrow sipping dew from a leaf
A butterfly on his way to somewhere
Pays us a visit, but it was only brief
A duck quacks out on the water
And we hear a Kingfisher splash
An elegant swan glides effortlessly by
And the dragonfly makes a dash

Hello Paul,
what a wonderful - natural read. And I love the
title. Do you know Tales of the Riverbank was one
of my favourite childrens programmes back in the
late 50s and early 60s.
You have excelled yourself with this poem and given
me much pleasure in reading.
Thankyou.
Jenny.

nice, very real. especially the dragonfly's dash. My children loved the videos of Tales of the riverbank in the 80s, and even now, and grandchildren
