The Inkwell

#writeclub

As you’re walking through the woodland

it’s funny how noisy it is

you think you’re enjoying the peace

of the waterside idyll

but every crack of wood

and crackle of campfire

is enough to make the locals

go postal

it might be a snap of a twig to you

but to the birds, mice, and hedgehogs

it’s a siren going off.

And our chum the butterflies wings

beware the hurricane.
