The pigeon lands
with a swoop
at the
all you can eat
buffet bouquet
of the neighbours garden.
Whilst his cousins tweet
an early morning song
to the fields of eternity.
Searching for an entree.
Something to fill his
feathery belly. A snack
to be replete,
to give his wings
more energy.
Whilst over the green,
the furry blur,
squirrelling away happy memories,
to use
on a rainy day.
Tiny acorns
stored perpetually
underneath the long-forgotten tree.
Squirrelling away
those fleeting images seen,
for when the weather is more severe,
bouncing from tree to tree,
a smear in the green leaves.
Memories of summers
lost in gardens of peace.
The black cat prowls,
panther-like,
predatory instinct
still burns inside.
The worm turns
back to his digs
for the night.
Hedgehog
watches
from the undergrowth,
when the moon is high
he will scuttle by,
as the foxes awaken
ready for another night,
another moonlit sky.
Shyly kept to the shadows,
slyly another meal
they will acquire.
Thanks for reading
