Wagtails

Mid morning in the now leafy white poplar, tall and symmetrical,

four flashing light and dark magnificent magpies tea leaf, steal the 

mannerisms of tinier wagtails by moving their tails up and down dancing 

around from branch to branch leading following each other and chattering 

away as though they have nothing else to do all day, for on this lovely day  

their instincts start to do what all other young adult creatures do in Spring.
