Out in the woods I saw today
guaranteed to lighten my heart
was a sight of natural art
for on the grass I spied a jay
although quite common so they say
as on the grass he alighted
true to say I was delighted
silver blue wingtips shining bright
and chessboard flanks of black and white
with fawn and purple neck and breast
his long beak probing on it’s quest
truly a magnificent sight

Being a writer who
used words like hullabaloo
realising that is a sin
I now use the word din

Whether in a sunlit forest clearing
or hidden deep within the dank, moist shade
he will be found forever preening
a gaudy, strutting Indian brave,
proudly standing with his tail displayed,
a hundred eyes are always watching
throughout earth’s history was there ever
found in nature a sight quite matching
the splendour of each jewelled feather
unlidded eyes that will not ever
close thus allowing him sleep or rest
all the while displaying pavonine breast
the faithful guardian of the forest

I heard a song from in the trees
and looking up I felt at ease
for if a robin doth appear
a loved one though once lost is near
so I gazed upon his bright red breast
happy knowing they are all at rest

Sea and sky entwined
like lovers, viewed from afar
our one blue planet

Mistletoe and wine on again
T V remote on the table
to reach it I am not able
so I have to listen then
to a song that celebrates when
meeting people we have to try
to stifle any wish to sigh
hoping my face doesn’t give away
the thoughts behind my eyes that day
and memories won’t make me cry.

I find when talking to country folk
their favourite tree is the mighty oak
so just last week whilst driving my truck
I stopped near this one to have a look
and you can imagine my surprise
I’m sure I saw a pair of eyes
so I jumped back in to tell my mate Stan
He said, don’t worry, tiz just the Green Man
he won’t hurt you if you leave him alone
but I think we’d best start heading for home.
