Mingle in the trees in the dingle,
– tall and thin, no green gloss,
up, up to the blue sky,
leaf litter underfoot, and squelchy mud,
fallen branches, thick with glowing moss,
new, low bramble growth begun,
bubbling Millhalf brook,
flitting bird song, here and there
up high, high:
peaceful, no-one around but us.

This is jam packed full of veg, mud, feet - well, everything, actually. How you got it into such a few words is amazing. It's scrumtious. Love it.

Oh, so pleased, Bee, thanks for telling me so. it was so short I had doubts about it, but I felt, yes, it gives the little picture I felt worth sharing! Rhiannon

HI Rhiannon

I agree with Bee, this is a lovely poem, and full of description despite its short length. I really enjoyed reading it.
