The laneway

 The Laneway snakes down to the sea 


The Laneway snakes down to the sea

Between bushes jostling for light

It’s a fine free for all in the country

On the old road that ends at the coast. 


Nettles and thistles in combat

With tall grass and sallies as well

With each year that passes 

The bushes grow taller

As natures reclaims her lair. 


A laneway once busy with workers 

Now rarely sees a soul

Sea breezes gambol and run

Along the green corridor for fun. 


Away in the distance a cottage

Pretends not to notice or care

The kettle is boiling 

The WiFi is working

With hardly a moment to spare
