The Robin

The Robin

A Poem by Michael Oliver
"

Work in progress - so hard to get the effects I can feel yet cannot capture.

"
The cut grass - thrown random - allows 
Single askance stalks - mind jerk blades
Sprung from mowing - a scattered rebellion 
Lone claims - defiant - against the imposition

Nowhere - now - a fluttered surprise
Thrill of wings - crisp - read breasted 
In this dewshine sun of morning
Not the round 'Ah' of Christmas 

A Robin's eye - a Robin's beak
Slick quick - hunts - by entrechat ripples 
Purposes action - gleans the structure - finds
Then - 'Hello mate' - something to eat

The macro world is very collective in the micro-isms of your piece. I love the dashing actions and verbiage that bring to life with acoustic nature, prose plucked from afar perfectly..excellent

Glad you felt this piece - as you obviously did
In defiance, lone claims ripple in purposeful actions. In love, twain actions ripple in sacrificial purpose. A wonderful write on the robin...:)..........

I like capturing the world in various mediums for a long time I was a painter, but more recently I realize the same imperative can be used to direct words as well as brushes. more..
