#WildWalkPrompt

Circling the pond,
Swooping down; gull tries to grab
Ducklings for its tea.

#Haiku #nature #poetry #blueskypoet #swooping #gull

Take to the air
swooping and soaring
wings that carry
to unknown lands
in total freedom
without restraint
dancing high
up in the sky
flying from night to dawn
peering down on the earth below
as a ship crosses the ocean

It comes #swooping in
with #vengefulness,
like the #terror of
a swirling #snow storm.

I pull on my defences
like warm clothes—
wooly #socks & gloves—

but it's here:
the dark spectre
of winter.

It'll show no mercy—
I feel its sharp claws
digging in,
they won't retract again
'til spring.

Breathtaking speeds, the
Swallows swooping and weaving
In the twilight sky.

You hold me so near
Then push me so far
My life flying high
All the while my heart
Swooping down
Sounding the alarm
Leave me disarmed
Keeping me grounded
Finding my balance
A challenge, I know
We have a chance
As together we grow

Mockingbird
In maple tree
Calling nervously
At bush below
And swooping
Aggressively
When other birds
Or humans near
Nest of hatchlings
In a boxwood
Watched over
And protected
Then back to
Sturdy branch
Tail twitching
On guard against
All threats real
And imagined

Hello Wild walk writers

This word could either be very fun, or very difficult... bit it looks fun when the gulls do it!

Maui and the #StellarsJay
Technically a bad shot as it is a “Live” moving photo that BlueSky cannot interpret correctly. I had several of these very mini clips to share to show the 5 birds #Swooping down on Maui as he climbed “their” #Tree in the #Forest #Photography #CatsInTrees #Birds

Do magpies target you? This eight-year-old's viral research could explain why Emma Glenfield wants to know why magpies swoop. She's conducting some cutting-edge research — and displaying her results with Lego.

An adorable use of maths, which has answered an important question

How awesome to have added to scientific knowledge at such a young age and for balding men to know that hat wearing might help reduce them being swooped.
