The flies are buzzing in the sunshine and the little dark brown honeybees <br />Are busily gathering nectar from the flowers of the blossoming trees <br />On a beautiful day in October of around 27 degrees <br />And Nature she is at her calmest with only a very faint breeze <br />Under the house eaves lined with lots of feathers the house sparrows have their nest of hay <br />Non singers devoted to chirping they seem to chirp all through the day <br />Such beauty to inspire poets and artists the beauty that Nature create <br />The willy wagtail with tail wagging is perched on the back garden gate <br />A tiny black and white long tailed flycatcher always on the look out for flies <br />One who mobs the much bigger magpie undaunted it does seem by size, <br />A beautiful day in October butterflies flitting in the sunlight <br />And fuchsias and roses in full bloom such things that make a pretty sight <br />And Nature she is at her calmest with only a very slight breeze <br />And all around the sunlit garden the buzzings of flies and of bees.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-beautiful-day-in-october/
