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.
