March Mornings

Magpie

Four magpies fighting
In the road, oblivious
To me passing by

 

Magpie finds long stick
Jackdaw wants it, sky scuffle!
Fight, flight, Magpie wins

 

Robin

In the blackthorn boughs
Robin; red lantern on branch
Among the blossom

Goldfinch

Goldfinches riff free
Jazz. Syncopated beats on
Bare willow branches

Goldfinch and Buzzard

Seventeen goldfinch
In the magnolia tree
Fresh buds, bright faces

Before Storm Eowyn

Jackdaw alarm calls!
Above me; silent brown wings
Buzzard, storm bringer

The Goldfinch

Goldfinch, bright candle

Burnished by autumn sunshine

Garden firework flies!
