A Branch Shook Poem by Diana van den Berg
A Branch Shook
A branch shook.
A leaf detached itself
and fell
on to my verandah in the sunlight.
A bird had taken flight
from a height
above the eaves
and out of sight.
I wondered what bird it was.
I wondered.
I still don’t know.
(August 1998)
What can I say? You take a tiny moment in time and capture it for ever with eloquence and a soft brush. The reader can see the poet's eyes shining behind her words. A sheer delight. Love, Alison ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
