On watching nature’s drama

Whistle

Perched on a foxglove,
a golden eyed dragonfly.
Whistle of a kite

 

for those not acquainted with Red Kites, their
plaintive call is like a distant shepherd calling his sheep.

Angry magpies scream
sounds like a crazy chorus
cat meanders, cool

Cuckoo

On holiday

On the Isle of Skye
Some things are the same as home
Bilingual road signs

On the Isle of Skye
Clear, from a stand of green birch
Call of a cuckoo

Call of a cuckoo
Rings far across green hillsides
Everyone goes, ‘Ahh’

Evening

On enjoying a quiet moment
(Tanka)

Pale blue evening, stars
Venus and Jupiter shine
before moon rises.
A blackbird, the last songbird’s
sweet voice in the fading light.

Cheers!

Six choughs twist and turn
Crash of white waves cheers them on
Fun at the seaside
