Black arrows caw across cloud laden sky
Carrion dark night into fledgling day
Neon sign blinks at bleary passer by
Magpies cackle though their jokes are unspoken
Damp reflects light last vestiges of night
And humourless humans trudge freshly woken

Beautiful photo. 😊
Thank you 🙂
That time of the year, and you have captured it all so well Martin. Such a pivotal point of the year isn’t it, it always brings back memories of the boys starting back at school . . .
Thanks Patti – you’ll be pleased to know that the grey dampness disappeared around 10:00 and we had a glorious autumn day 🙂 I think the school year has moved a bit – they went back 2nd week in September and it will soon be half-term 😉
Great photo! It’s like the opening scene of a detective story.
Thanks – I guess it could be used on the front cover of a modern detective novel! 🙂
Great shot! 🙂
Thanks – always worth taking the camera on an early morning walk 🙂
Wow! Like it all. Photo made me shiver with recognition. And the poem is so well done! Love those cackling magpies —
Thank you Judith – always lots of Crows and Magpies in Finchley 🙂
excellent writing
Thank You 🙂
