I actually wrote a new poem.

Gigrin Farm.

This place in Wales is what they need,
They fly here from miles around,
A farm which suppliments their feed,
The Farmer throws food on the ground.

Swooping and diving, in they fly,
Grabbing the food between their feet,
Then up they go into the sky,
Such a hard won ration, to eat.

One of the most awesome sights,
Something I'd never seen before,
Literally hundreds of Red Kites,
So many I couldn't keep score.

And this I must also say,
A never to be forgotten day.

Val.

I haven't been here for months & I expect you have all forgotten me by now. I went through a very lean time of not being able to write poetry at all, but I have started to write again. This is one of them.

hope you post more soon

Thank you very much Cara.

I hope to be here more often now. Fingers crossed.

That must have been an awesome sight, Val, judging by the poem

It was a very awesome sight, Jennypoll. Thank you for your comment.

Know how it goes Val, been there ... the muse disappearing and no sign of returning ...you did a tremendous job scripting...so glad to have you back...!

Ha nice to see you again Val,

Lets go fly a kite...up to the highest height...

yeah well I can't sing.... hey ho

No red kites, but we have a huge family of sparrows here. They've driven away almost every other species of bird apart from magpies (both types

PS: It's good to have you back!

Thank you all, Maria, Steve & Lynn. Very kind of you to comment.

Steve, reading your comment, I had my hands over my ears

I hope to be here more often now.

A nicely captured moment. I hate it when the muse does that - let's hope it sticks around for a while.

Cheers, Merlin

(I love your name btw

)

Thank you Emma. We went there at the end of June, this year. I had never been before.
