Things You Find In A Hedge Poem by Paul Reed

Things You Find In A Hedge



Lying hidden amongst the twigs and greenery for decades
Thrown-away newspapers, milk cartons and deaf aids;

Birds nests, spiders webs, a moth-eaten old sock,
Discarded tins of lager, deflated balls, a shuttlecock;

A tale of the past lies entangled in our hedgerows
Sandwich wrappers, pie crusts, bits of food left to decompose;

Empty wallets, old toy cars and mangled napkin rings
What history can be gleaned from such disparate things!
