Watching a pair of jays…
Old, married couple,
two jays bicker and converse,
Share a find of nuts.

*************************
Dead days – and nights…
The calm sea browned off
even jellyfish seem tired.
The birds fall silent.
(23/06/23)
*************************
After all that hot, sunny weather…
Soft song of rare rain.
Adding to the liquid sound
spill a thrush’s notes.

*************************
The bog cotton is profuse, the air clear, the sun bright, birdsong sweet…
Silk-soft and pristine,
countless white flags celebrate.
Larks rise up, singing.
