Poem 186 of 230: W.W.T. WASHINGTON - AUTUMN 2001
Arriving, took tea
With beans on dry toast -
Sitting down to see
What large ponds can host.
From this collection,
I walked out to the
Wildlife section -
More the place for me.
There are many hides;
Plus feed through the cold -
On one of the sides,
Woodpeckers took hold.
And, as I moved on,
Beside the Wear,
A calm grey-heron -
Willing fish near.
