A BRANCH SHOOK August 1998 A branch shook. A leaf detached itself and fell on to my verandah in the sunlight. A bird had taken flight from a height above the eaves and out of sight. I wondered what bird it was. I wondered. I still don’t know. - Owl |

Thank you Marge, I am glad it came across like that because that was how it was born to me. Thank you Ed, the experience made me ponder too, for a long while afterwards, which is quite strange in its way, because there are literally hundreds and hundreds of birds in my indigenous forest garden. Thank you Goldenrose, that was exactly how I wanted it to come across. Thank you Enchantress, I am glad that it worked for you and that you enjoyed it. - Owl |
