The corvidae and the cherries

they have eaten every cherry

off my tree this week

swallowed them down

or knocked them to the ground

and then they seek

to let them ripen more each

day

and eat them  from the floor

what  grows is  fruit they see see as theirs

and its something they adore

there was  a time

when i waited to taste the Summer fruit

thought about the netting

but then it didnt  suit

my  ethic

we must share it is a trait

That we can do

watch them taste the wildness

for it makes good sense to view

in supermarkets flavour is very very poor

too much artificial stuff

farmers they ignore

Nature and organic soils

its what the  public say

they want

and a terrible sadness comes over me

today.
