Pink Moon Badgers…
The pallid moon hung in an azure sky
Above Warwickshire’s encroaching
Dusk, over arable fields and a woody scrub
From where badgers emerged, approaching
Stealthily a source of sustenance
Beyond the circumference
Of a refilled water tub…
A lingering red backcloth hung in sunset’s sky
Behind Temple Balsall’s bewitching
Dusk, adjacent to myriad setts in scrub,
From where badger cubs ventured, munching
Healthily the scattered nourishment
Within the environment
Of their clan’s subterranean hub…
