Midsummer Meeting

'Midsummer Meeting' by Clare Banham

by Clare Banham 31st July 2015

On a bright summer’s day in a small country town
Meeting began when the first Friend sat down.
Hard on her heels came a youth at a jog,
A hiker, a biker, a dentist, his dog.
A visiting family filled the back row
And all let the silence gather and grow.
