A Summer Reverie

Midway through summer, Brussels glows

At last – an outing for light clothes!

Yet even in these Northern climes

A hat is de rigueur sometimes!

 

The woods behind my house look cool

It’s filled with walkers as a rule

Accompanied by Man’s best friend

This green lung is such a Godsend!

 

The heavy rainfall favours weeds

Breezy gusts disperse wild seeds

Purple loosestrife, poppies, clover

Bright tapestry ‘til summer’s over!

 

Our leafy commune gets my vote;

On forest edge, but not remote

As ISB* by lake serene

Is served by STIB bus seventeen!

 

The joys of nature never pall

Tendrils climb my terrace wall;

Chives, fragrant thyme and mint delight

On such days, life here is just right!
