Old ways

An evening where tired eyes and grey clouds met — so we went out into the rain,

flicked raindrops from purple grasses,

saw the fields sparkle,

used buttercups to tell us if we like butter,

found seedheads that can be fired high into the air,

hunted for four-leaved clovers,

watched dogs bound through the long grass,

and asked the dandelion seeds if it was time, yet, to go home.

We flicked the raindrops from purple grasses

We saw the fields sparkle

We used buttercups to tell us if we like butter

We found seedheads that can be fired high into the air

We hunted for four-leaved clovers

We watched dogs bound through the long grass

We told the time by blowing dandelion seeds
