To the Spider on Our Washing Line
They call her a common garden spider
But look closely and you’ll realise
There’s nothing whatsoever common
About her.

Teach us to Pray
Sermon looking at the Lord’s Prayer, and Jesus’ teaching on prayer immediately afterwards. The disciples came to Jesus and said, ‘Teach us to pray.’ And we too can come to Jesus today and say, ‘Teach us to pray.’
Collared Dove, Confused
Diligently
She flies down to the garden,
She selects the ideal twig,
She flies up, twig in beak,
She disappears into the birch tree,
She reappears, and repeats.

Aerial Conflict
They compete for supremacy of the sky,
Two birds together above the trees,
One circling sedately on the breeze,
One haranguing and heckling with hoarse cry.
All is Well
She welcomed the prophet of God,
She opened her home to him,
She gave him food and a bed for the night,
She built him a guest room on top of the house
For rest and refreshment whenever he passed,
All is well.
