I made this film for Rockingham Forest Vision. It involved a lovely day out in Bedford Purlieus.
I'm quite proud of this.
And CC should be proud of this... just two days to go!
Waiting for the Winter Solstice
This time of year the night is long,
the starlings murmurate,
the crows abstain their calls at dawn,
a circling seagull waits.
This time of year earthworms go deep,
slime-wrapped they aestivate
and quite alone, each queen bee* sleeps
-- in spring she'll procreate.
This time of year the bare, stripped trees
reveal more stars and moon,
the cold's way of appeasement
-- but yes, solstice is coming soon.
*Only the queen bumblebee overwinters.
My gosh, what a well done film. Congratulations!! I imagine the Rockingham group is very pleased.
And thanks for posting my solstice poem 😀
