One chaffinch on the bird feeder, continuously cheep-ing…
The chaffinch’s song:
an insistent mono-tone,
belies its plumage.

**************************
Another storm…
The morning stream roars
the news of last night’s deluge.
The chaffinch silenced.
(21/05/21)
***************************
The swifts are back…
Excited return,
swifts boomerang high above.
All the joys of Spring.
(14/05/21)
***************************
Storm…
Silky young leaves hiss,
Chestnut candles are snuffed out,
The winds’s rampaging.
