Redbreast  
                                             
hawk-bait fool of a bird,
top-branch, easy pick-off;
careless busker;

lonely crowd-pleaser,
air-ruffled; one long itch
and riff of song;

leafless pitcher, head-turner,
tuned in to tree-top
maps of competitors;

Mr Tomato-Soup-On-A-Stick,
concentrated rose-hips
against the blitz of blue.

D.A. Prince
