  • Early May Bank Holiday Birds

    Birds at Bishop’s Palace, Wells

    Pen and her cygnets
    Evening light on calm water
    Following her home

    Heron

    Heron flies above
    The old stone ramparts, herald
    For the palace walls

    Robin

    Under the old yew
    In the gloaming you watch me
    Small red sentinel

    Breakfast with the birds

    A pair of swallows
    Perched on the telephone line
    Call to say they’re here

    Late afternoon

    Willow sheds its down
    Windblown to a lullaby
    Sung by the goldfinch

  • Breakfast with the Birds

    March Morning

    In the willow tree
    Under a Van Gogh sky a
    Robin paints in song


    Goldfinches

    Five feisty finches
    Fill the golden willow boughs
    With red hot trouble!

    Powder puffs, dusted
    Gold in the golden sunlight
    Catkin and goldfinch


    On the Spring Equinox

    Now the day rises
    Green leaves unfurl to greet her
    And birds sing her name
