Poem: Wildlife
'Pond a plant or plant a pond?'
Pond a plant or plant a pond?
Yesterday I did both, dug into
the long grass lawn to sky water
a small habitat for when next spring emerges
in damsel flies, spawn and Japanese anemones.
Then came the heavy showers that can’t be carried.
They cross the coast unlike anything crushed
by hurricane winds.
These are thin cloud-scuds breaking
over those high hills above the A38.
