Yes…silence in the field…a very strong moment caught.
I like the depth of the silence in this poem!
Yes, I’m sure the silence in the field is profound…
Origami Pheasant
great take!
Where I grew up in North Devon, England we would often run Pheasants over driving through the country lanes. They were always worth a few bob in the local pub 🙂
Lovely work as always Bjorn!
Yes, while someone enjoys the roast, the field is missing its pheasant… Beautiful and sad.
