Two Edward Thomas Poems



Edward Thomas Among the Birds

Friendship of blackbirds.

The yellowhammer:
tiny flamboyance
on the path ahead.

A wren, welcoming.


Edward Thomas Takes Flight

He rises,
bird from this blasted field
that offers no hedge
in which to rest, no fence
on which to sing.

He flits.
