Cutting the hedge

poems inspired by the wood engravings of Eric Ravilious

Cutting the hedge

Dusting done,
floors swept
and dishes washed by
the busy houseproud widow.

 Hedges trimmed
with sharpened shears
and clippings cleared by
the busy houseproud widow.

 No stranger passed her tidy hedge
by the straight and narrow path
or called for a chat and a cup of tea
with the lonely houseproud widow.
