Robin

This photo is by Neil (chimpdachimp2000). He captures birds briliantly! In the description he said he'd taken this a year ago in last spring. This was my immediate response ...

Perched ... awaiting the passing of time
Delicate feathers gathered so sublime
A perfect resting place, a stump having met its fate
Yet the potential for a new branch to take its place
A year from now I won't even be a shadow
Just a gentle memory of the sun's soft glow
Cutting across the sky, swooping in for spring
Robin of Sherwood will always be king
