out there at 7 trying not to disturb the birds……

….suddenly a noisy scurrying from the edge
and a group of partridge ran and settled in the middle of the field
two pheasant felt far enough away on the fence and stared
a robin sang his song in the tree until he was ready to fly off…

morning ~ a silk arrangement.

on the ledge~
flowers made from silk
puffs of cloud and love birds in the sky
on the hedge~
lace cobweb strings
where the robin sings…..

there’s a quick flash of red~ by the old shed

by the gate
on the van
on the roof
by the field
in the tree
singing to autumn

Hey Robin…

Where have you been? (long time no see)
Over the hills and I’m back he said (looking through the window)
And it seems to me
Everything’s still in place….
The lines
The trees on the horizon
Gone
Swept up in the rain
Like mist
And birds
Like me
Still sit….
