Wild Moment: Ann Dunn

"Speckled shadows / lengthening days..." Ann Dunn shares a poem that celebrates a locked-down spring spent in the garden

Spring in lockdown

Taming my garden
Pulling out weeds
Fingers in earth
sowing seeds

Dappled sunlight
Evening rays
Speckled shadows
Lengthening days

Fragrant petals
Fledglings fly
Silver birch leaves
Star filled sky

Forget me nots
On pathways  spread
Screeching swallows
Overhead

Bird filled woodland
Gentle rain
Arching Rainbows
A country lane

Just glorious birdsong
Swooping bees
Pristine skies
And silence:

Peace
