~ Spring ~

The blackthorn is 
beginning to bloom,
and the hawthorn is 
showing the tenderest 
of new green, as its buds 
slowly give birth to its 
Spring foliage.
::
::
The collared doves send coded messages
of coo~ing love to one another,
and Sol climbs higher
and burns brighter
every day.

~ The Rooks Are Gathering ~

The Rooks are gathering
at Pelcomb Bridge;
making repairs to 
their grand estate
of twigs in the treetops; 
and heralding Spring
in a raucous chorus
of Rookery racket
::
::
and in the cold East wind
a Red Kite flies
::
High.
