Swallows Poem by Adrian Thomas

Swallows

Rating: 5.0


The Swallows fly high this evening
Chasing bugs.
For those little things they dart in changing directions;
Rise up, plummet.
Moodlike. Lovelike.
Today one is dead.
I pick it from the stones and place it in the undergrowth.
There it will rot.
This evening I shall watch the others.
Remembering.

Life is fragile, and of course that is part of its beauty. Watching birds, mindful of their mortality, is a fresh take. Very nice. Thanks, G
