Great Birds Of Great Britain! Poem by Denis Martindale

An artist learns his skills at home,
Such that he studies all
And yet it's known, leave home and roam,
Find some great miracle...
And when God's birds are seen anew,
Their plumage comes to mind,
Their coloured wings of red and blue,
Or peacocks, so refined...

Wherever artists come to rest,
Perhaps new birds they'll see,
Or by their little songs feel blessed,
Should these bring harmony...
We may not know each bird by sight,
Yet artists study well,
As if to capture each delight,
Each has a tale to tell...

So when an artist of renown,
Gets all such details done,
His paintings found in every town
To celebrate such fun,
Then I'm impressed and blessed by these,
When loved from coast-to-cost
And yet of all God's birds that please,
I love the Robin most!
