Barnstaple
Brent Geese fly; as stark
As the roundabout stones stand
Against the blue sky
Magpie
Striped youth, still callow
Finding berries flutters high
Into sapling tree
Little Egret
Origami bird flies past
Legs folded, wings shaped
Barnstaple
Brent Geese fly; as stark
As the roundabout stones stand
Against the blue sky
Magpie
Striped youth, still callow
Finding berries flutters high
Into sapling tree
Little Egret
Wren
I hear you singing
Through the window, you reach me
With a bright Spring song
Starlings
Two shiny green birds
Ornaments on bare branches
Winter-jewelled tree
Over flooded fields
The flock ripples out. Black boats
Fish on the dawn tide
Magpie
Wings in, arrow flight
Look at you, surfing sunlight!
Soon beached on tree branch
