Delores of Mumblings and Jenny of Procrastinating Donkey are taking turns hosting Poetry Monday.
Today's theme is Robin Redbreast. (courtesy of Delores).
All the lore concerning Robin Redbreast is new to me. And I think al the A-Z or rather A-Å Challenge post writing has addled my brain. In the end an alliterative verse in the old Nordic style was all my poor brain could pull forth.
Robin Redbreast
raises its beak
Pecking at pollinators
near the pond
Robin Redbreast
Resting in the willow
Twittering in the twilight
Flighty as time.

Blogger is still randomly putting comments in spam-jail. I promise to free them as fast as possible.
Your addled brain should take a bow.
SvarSletI loved this.
The phrase flighty as time is a beauty. Time is an elastic trickster, and flighty is a wonderful summation.
Thank you so much.
SletI agree with Elephant's Child - and you have nothing to apologize for with this poem. It creates some wonderful images.
SvarSletI hadn't heard of Nordic style - must investigate.
I was inspired by Paul Anderson (An American despite his name - I think the book is called The Broken Sword), and his old Norse science fiction.
SletWhatever you call the style, it's wonderful.
SvarSletThank you.
