The best singers are often nervy…
Fugitive blackbird,
rides the hedge roller-coaster.
Trilling the alarm.

A wild night doesn’t overly bother the romantic mood of a pheasant…
Storm rages loudly,
Sudden pause to catch its breath.
Pheasant clears his throat.

************************************************************
Willow-down floating everywhere, catching on everything…
Downy flower clouds
soften prickly holly leaves.
Like wool on barbed wire.

************************************************************
The soft young leaves bursting out on beech, sycamore, willow…
The woods hang bunting:
bright, translucent green silk flags
to welcome Summer.
