Another Repost: Song of the Thrush

Another repost from last summer’s Nature Insight series. 

The Thrush

for the moment

without a song,

walked the path

with a purpose

she had all along.
She meant

to crack that snail

so hard to crack;

who would’ve thought

all she should do

was give it a whack.
Whack, wallop, whack!

Whack, wallop, whack!

Such strength to pretend;

Whack, wallop, whack!

Stand back, stand back!

Have a go again!
The thrush

for the moment

found a new song,

flying off with

a meal she knew

she had all along.
