A Red Waistcoat And Green Fingers

Hide and seek on an allotment

Hide and seek flirtatiously
flitting to and fro',
between the newly upturned sods
and bramble laced hedgerow.

A robin with the old man played
as always on it's terms,
hiding whilst the gardener toiled
then seeking out the worms.

Very nice use of words.
"Hide and seek ,flirtatiously,
flitting to and fro',
between the newly upturned sods,
and bramble laced hedgerow."
The above lines. They danced and create visions for the reader. I liked the way you twisted the words to make your point. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

it is sweet, made me smile, still am. How I love robins, territorially grumpy or not... they have both personality and character - rather like.. let me think.. human beings.

What a delightful poem. It's like a dose of medicine.. thank you.

Nice one Gee. I can picture this write fermenting in your head as you toil the land, tired after a hard days graft, wondering what it would be like to be as carefree as the robin who's next meal you are preparing :)

[Gee]

Carefree,oh to be a child again eh !!!Cheers

Yes, definitely sweet and so true. Our robin is sure to pop up whenever we do the gardening. (love the rhyme, terms worms.)
