CELANDINES ON A MOSSY HUMMOCK...

 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…
