The feeder has been out there for a month stuffed with thistle seed to attract the finches but there has not been a sign of interest from any bird ~ until yesterday. A goldfinch, in the middle of cold rain ! and today in a tiny piece of sun  he brought a friend along….

Yes it’s you who wrote the words
today across the sky

And I can still remember
the words you said
in  reception class
by the silver-sand tray
we were
both five years old
you and me

YEAR AGAIN….

Another summer
Another day
Sky clear

Birds silenced
By the church bell
Ringing in the sun
Still running liquid honey
Beyond the little trees
….Still no one here.
