Tree rings

June 23, 2022 by nomdeplume707, posted in poetry

Twenty five years

ago, my friend

gave me a tree

seedling, that had

grown where we both

worked, as a

start for my new

garden. It has

outlived him by

ten years, and will

outlive me by

one hundred years.

Play misty

April 17, 2022 by nomdeplume707, posted in ecology, gardens, poetry

Sometimes,

early on

a misty morning,

the tangled threads

of our lives

seem to form

a pattern.

But the Sun

soon puts a

stop to that

wishful thinking.

Morning has broken

April 16, 2022 by nomdeplume707, posted in ecology, gardens, poetry

Few things more pleasant,

in old age or young,

than sitting on a hill,

on a clear, almost frosty

morning, mist filling the

valleys, and listening

to a butcher bird

song notes

cascading through

the silent air,

while your dog sits,

quietly, beside you.

Achoo!

October 31, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in ecology, gardens, poetry

A breath

of fresh

air in

Spring is

full of

pollen.

We’re all individuals

October 16, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in ecology, gardens, poetry

Cabbage White

butterflies

seem boring

to me. All

exactly

the same in

their looks and

behaviour.

But I guess

they don’t seem

like that to

each other.

Great eggspectations

September 22, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in ecology, evolution, gardens, History, poetry

Every day,

somewhere in the

world, billions

of birds sit on

their nests, content

and confident

about the eggs

that they cherish.

Point of view

July 24, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in ecology, gardens, poetry

I hate the

sound of a

rabbit, at

night, screaming

in the jaws

of a fox.

But I can’t

hear the fox

cubs crying

with hunger.
