Mandy Haggith Poems
A selection of poems from
'letting light in'.
a chaffinch cuts
the surprise blue dawn
into snippets of spring
*
and the birch says
it's about dancing and colour
and the rowan says
it's about berries and birds
and the willow says
it's about shape and shelter
and the hazel says
it's about love and lichen
and the aspen says
it's about growth and the wind
but I say it's about
listening to the trees
