Starlings, Sparrowhawk and Swans, Late Autumn in Somerset

 

Drawing back the night
A curtain of starlings fly
Across the sky’s frame

 

Now, the low gold sun
Trumpets its autumn fanfare
Starlings march the sky

 

Sparrowhawk gazes
From the pergola. It eyes
Hunt me, fierce and wild

 

Flooded fields are now
A waterfowl’s wet dream, ooh!
Check out those swans, wow.
