All day
though intermittently
through that mild, damp grey
came warnings and scoldings
of small birds gardens down
while midges held dance venues
sunless over the hedge
nigh invisible
to eyes so easily distracted
by slightest signings
of the orator yew.

All day
though intermittently
through that mild, damp grey
came warnings and scoldings
of small birds gardens down
while midges held dance venues
sunless over the hedge
nigh invisible
to eyes so easily distracted
by slightest signings
of the orator yew.
