Old Autumnal Musings

This is a small sample of some 'musings' I wrote back in September 1996, when I was up the west coast of scotland for a weekend of 'nature immersion'.

Brooding hills
Squalling gulls
Waving grass
Turquoise water
Warming sun
Autumn has come.

Cormorants fly past

to a wing drying roost

Gathering grey clouds

Bringing the water

to quench the parched

land's thirst.

Hoody Craws in their mottled plumage

fill the skies with their contact cries.
