Birds

 

Monday 27 January

 

Top of the table

Is Robin, where they heed his 

Need and feed him seed.

 

Tuesday 28 January

 

White swans glide through life

Serene; all their hard legwork

Remaining unseen.

 

Wednesday 29 January

 

Sky high starling flock

Unfurling, down whirling, up

Curling, twisting block.

 

Thursday 30 January

 

Raucously squawking,

Squabbling crows, scattering,

Screeching, off they go.

 

Friday 31 January

 

Fat pheasants flying

Through the flak, as tweed jackets

Go on the attack.
