A starling murmuring
Pirouettes in flight
A chattering of wing
Swooping round in fright
Orion riding out
Betelgeuse in front
Rigel comes about
Aiding in the hunt
A bee about its home
Abdomen straight up
Honey in its comb
Head down for a sup
Nautilus is rising
Deep within the swell
Midnight it is feasting
Afloat within its shell
A mountain precipice
Wracked and crumbling
Escarpment treacherous
Beauty tumbling
Eucalypt is swaying
Creaking through its trunk
Leaves and branches sailing
Landing with a thunk
A cloud appears above
Silent in the blue
Moving as a dove
Sparrows darting through
Willow leaf is falling
Below is a stream
Clear and burbling
Dancing in a dream
A table donned with frost
Wood is turned to white
Morning sun is tossed
Ferns of ice and light
