These are from a recent trip to RSPB Ham Wall in Somerset, a beautiful reed-bed wetland.
Egret
The serene glide, low
Against the umber reed bank
Egret sails the wind
Highest perch to hear
The wind pick up my holler!
Woodpecker’s beat poem
Mute Swan
This fine furled feather
Eloquently writes my frame
No swansong for me
Robin
A lone fisherman
Patient water margins wait
Red flag for dragonflies
Bronzed sky warrior
Outstretched wings beat down clouds
Rain bringer arrives
******
Egret
'Mirror, mirror on
The floor, who has the longest
Neck of all. Why me!'
