A Robin at Wroxeter

Wroxeter is a beautiful place.

There are the remains of the Roman city, of course, so picturesquely situated within sight of the Wrekin, the Lawley and Caer Caradoc.

There is the beautiful village, with the church partly built using stone from the Roman city, and also from Haughmond Abbey.

When I visited recently a robin perched in the February sunshine for me as I wandered in the peace of the early morning…

A robin sang

from the branches of a winter tree

~

His belly was as bright as the day

his breast red as the sunset

~

Gracing my winter spirit

with tones of happiness.
