Celandines On A Mossy Hummock
A warm April dusk
Culminated in a thick bar of matt amber
Resting on the skyline.
Yet, despite the provision of nourishment
Across the dry earth spread,
There was no movement from any setts…
A darkening April dusk
Featured celandines upon a mossy knoll’s camber
Glistening in the moonshine.
Yet, despite the scattered food supplement
Upon the copse’s dry bed,
There was minimal activity around the setts…
One badger, sating hunger near the perimeter,
Finally approached
A sett and disappeared.
A stealthy fox encroached
Beyond the wire but veered
Away with lusty tail aloft.
And the celandines’ soft
Yellow gleamed within their parameters…
