Poem for National Poetry Day

I just won a prize for this poem, which is a first.

Happy National Poetry Day!


Still Life, With Waders



Remember. He was a twitcher

before there was twitching.



But not just a list of sightings

like train numbers. Love seeps

from his lists of Lapwing,

Linnet, Greylag, Goosander and

the great, Great Bustard.



After life, remains life.

There are still sunset waders

beside the shore

up to their Redshanks

in  a skin of light.
