A poem

The other day I was feeling poetic and wanted to do something different. So I decided to create a poem about birds. It is not a real life event, and would never occur in real life. However, it rhymes and the audiences I performed it to thought it was a nice and enjoyable poem, so I hope you do enjoy it. Thank-you.

Birds in the garden 

Yesterday I saw a dove,
Big and plump,
Upon a large tree stump,
Then came a pigeon,
And over my head a wigeon,
And, I saw all this, in, my back garden.

The other day I saw a Swan,
Who landed by my pond,
It looked like, in it's mouth, it held a wand,
It then invited it's friend the Canada Goose,
And it;s acquaintance the Moose,
And, I saw all this, in, my back garden.

In the past, I saw a Grey Heron,
Long and thin,
Carrying something shaped like a pin,
Then came a golden plover,
Who saw the bird that set out to hover,
and, I saw all this, in, my back garden

One fine day I saw a Waxwing,
Taking material for it's nest,
Then it went to go west,
Then flew a Swallow,
Competing with a nuthatch to make something hollow,
And, I saw all this, in my back garden.

Some time ago on a winter day I saw a Robin,
Who, was chubby and red,
And not just his breast but his head,
At this point it was hopeless,
To see something as rare as a Diplodocus,
So, that's all I saw, in, my back garden.

But when summer days were back, I saw a Purple Heron,
With vicious claws and a pointy beak,
And I thought, 'I better run. EEK!'
But, untouched, a rock dove flew past,
So, I thought, 'I've seen a rare one at last.'
And, I saw all this, in my back garden.

When winter came, I saw a pigeon,
Who ate too much in summer,
But to adulthood he was a new-comer,
Then, over my head came a Buzzard large,
and his eagle friend named marge,
And, I saw all this, in, my back garden.

One summers day, no birds came,
Maybe my luck ran out,
What a shame,
But as all hope was lost,
One bird gave me some!
Because it's not one to miss fish (a fish-misser)
For that bird is a King-fisher,
I told the shop across from me,
Because I thought I was lucky,
And so I ended my quest,
For the one that had beauty the best,
Of course it was the Kingfisher, who, had left town,
But that did not leave me with a frown.

The final paragraph was about my favourite bird: The Kingfisher. And that is the reason I included it as my final bird, with the most beauty around, and the one that gave me hope. So thank-you for taking just five minutes out of your day to read what I have written. I hope you enjoyed. 

Secret Revealed Early-I need your help

The lovely wildlife at my patch

I know that I have not done many posts yet and these are yet to come. However, something terrible has come upon my secret patch and that is why I shall reveal this secret location much earlier than planned.

The Threat
It has come to my attention that my patch is under serious threat of being taken over and turned from a delightful world of nature, where all of the wildlife can flourish into another horrific part of civilisation- an industrial park! From a peaceful, calm place, it could turn into a noisy, busy, place where all the delightful nature will be ripped from the ground and using these materials become a dreadful eyesore, which will, have a major effect on the wildlife! SO I NEED YOUR HELP TO PROTECT IT.

Effects
Not only will this have effect on the wildlife, there is ruins known as the 'abbey ruins' from the 13th century and they will also be demolished! Not only that but this also environmental, historical and ecological landscape. This is possibly the worst thing that could have happened and without your help IT WILL happen.

Now the bit you've been waiting for. Where my patch is. My patch is 'lapal and Illey brooks' in Halesowen. And although by the road it is one of the most silent places I have ever been too. Now where you can help. Please go to this website and sign the petition to stop this monstrosity from becoming a reality. You can also visit their website, Facebook page and Twitter account with these links. Thank you.
