Robin in the fig tree

What are the words?
Bright, cheery red, bob-bob-bobbing?

Redbreast

Caught a flash of red
in the hedgerow yesterday
A little robin redbreast
in the branches on the way
Sitting there quite peacefully
as nature had intended
his plumage looking lovely
and his redbreast rather splendid

Robin in the fig tree

 

What are the words?
Bright, cheery red, bob-bob-bobbing?
My Robin has read Ted Hughes
He pulls worms fighting from the stiff soil
Terrorises chickens, birds a hundred times his size

Waiting

***

simple is the time

of crow, robin, tree and sprite

simple is the life

–

that’s waiting
