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
