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.

Author's Note

Short,hopefully sweet !!

Lovely. We have a very friendly robin in our garden who comes close to eat the meal worms we put out for him. Your poem reminded me of him. Definitely short but very sweet.

I like the anthropomorphic tone of this one Gee. The sparra' with his waistcoat and that.
This is a clear case of antibiosis that I'd never thought about before. Birds are often considered the gardeners friend but so are the earthworms. The gardener has a dilemma.
Its good to read you again my friend. Well penned
:))

Well done.
