free as a . . .


"A robin redbreast in a cage/Puts all heaven
in a rage."  William Blake said that.
This little robin has an entire garden to enjoy—
and a tree full of crab apples
to get drunk on.

[Linking back to Ruby Tuesday and Our World Tuesday.]

    Nice poem. But it looks to be cherrys and not apples.

      That's what I thought too, but it's a botanic garden and the tree is labeled Malus. :~}

    Happy looking Robin with lots to eat. The crap apples should contain no alcohol unless they have fermented, which they seldom do in the tree.
