From our resident poet

FROM OUR RESIDENT POET - CLOSE DOWN OR WAIT

Quietly I sit in contemplation,

Waiting for words of inspiration

To fill my brain, in preparation

So words will flow - no meditation!

Shall I write about the weather?

Deep snow, fierce storms - together

Killers of incipient leisure,

Destroyers of the hours of pleasure.

These darkling days need joy,

Not mundane facts used as a ploy.

A sideways glance through window spies

One sight that makes the spirits rise.

Inquisitive robin, 'neath brightening skies,

Unearths some food - to his surprise.

Twittering sparrows join the quest.

Robin repels unwanted guest.

Now, his realm is repossessed.

Macho robin has passed the test!

Think not, protagonist is coy,

Just inspiration to enjoy.

robin has passed the test.
