A Melting Morning

It snowed heavily in Ireland for the past month and just last week the thaw set in and I wrote this poem....... After the thaw birds swim the sky exuberant warmed by a light drizzle falling on pear coloured fields they drink in a saturated land Gliding from cedar to spruce great canopies of army green, the gulls alight from a satin sky to branches covered in lichen where pistachio ivy clings Sweeping over a shrouded sea liquorice birds blot the view. as blackbirds gather on the arching limbs of a ivory silver birch rejoicing in a melting morning
