Hello Mr Robin

Hello Mr Robin where have you been

We have missed you and your cherry breast

Your cheeky chirps and perky cheeps

You flit about up and down here and there

Pecking twerking flying round

We like t when you venture close 

Brave and fearless such a friend

Welcome back we’ve missed you so

Please stay a while before you go. 

My second Mr Robin poem. Inspired by the return of our Robin to the garden after what seems like a long absence. Such friendly forthright characters.

Mr Robin

Delightful flutter scarlet breast

Alights beside me as I dig

Fearless friendly brave and bold

Mr Robin a friend of old

Trusting innocent and daring do

Reassuring chirping song

Sharing worms as we both dig

Such trusting friendship his to give

Originally written on Christmas Day 2016 inspired by the occasion and the time of year. But I am publishing on my Blog, Easter 2020 because in the last couple of weeks, Mr Robin has become an important part of my daily routine in the garden. We have a chat, well I speak to him and he listens, and when I am digging he is never far from the action ready to dive in for a wiggly worm. Thank you friendly Mr Robin who graces my garden the year-round for your friendship in these troubled times.
