Listen to poem:
I watch with interest as crows glide over a wheat field. Such a fine sight under simmering sun. Smiling at the occasional poppy blazing red, such a contrast. There is not one cornflower this year, cannot help wondering why? If I could edge closer, would I spot a butterfly? Last year they were absent, another extinction event looming. Momentarily distracted by screeching crows' my questions go unanswered. Instead savouring this moment before threshers begin their work. Repetitive cycle of life so precious, not to be taken for granted. How we would miss our ovens filled with aroma of freshly baked bread.
