Blackcap and the pirate rooks

These two haiku are from one walk around the local area:

Blackcap

 In the hedgerow hops
Among thorned berries, blackcap
Autumn hat adorned

The Pirate Rooks

Above the grey stone
Roof they fly; flock of black wings
And pirate bones. Arrrrh!

Autumn Rooks, Long-tailed Tits and a White Swan

 

Rooks in a red field

Shaved of its corn. Forage! Fight!

Beaks glean Autumn light

 

Late evening calls, hark!

The long-tailed tits sing and flit

In warm company

 

White swan in the rhyne

Wings against a white skyline

Singing the old songs

Rooks at Solstice Park

Hands in pockets, sharp!

Sauntering past for chip scraps

Black suit bold as brass

Ragged as the wind

And just as wild. Squall feathered

Car park scavengers

Cheeky chip-napper!

Droll streetwise vagabonds dip
Free to take away
