It’s mont bretia time…
The verges burning
With orange mont bretia flames.
Road-tar is melting.

Watching a thrush in a field…
Long field, newly sown.
A thrush hops about, head cocked.
Listening to grass grow.

**********************
Hedges are incredible at this time of year, especially this years…
Hedges encroaching:
Brambles, bracken and briars.
Nature resurgent.

**********************
Swifts…
High in the wide sky,
flicker-winged swifts exulting,
Screaming their freedom.

**********************
Meadowsweet…
The white-lined roadside
celebrates its abundance:
Blossom confetti.
