Exploring this Japanese form to describe my winter visitors – a little flock of Long tailed tits that fly across each morning to the feeders right at the top of the garden by the field – never near the house. They are so trusting and come far closer than any other birds.

Waiting… 
Watchful and still,
In bobbing flight they come,
Six birds,long-tailed,a hair’s breath close 
Then gone.
