I heard this on the radio and had to share it, it's a poem about our
quick-moving little bird, written as part of a 2017 collection protesting
nature words removed from the latest edition of the Oxford Junior
Dictionary for young readers:
“When wren whirs from stone to furze the world around her slows, for wren
is quick, so quick she blurs the air through which she flows. Yes. Rapid
wren is needle. Rapid wren is pin. And wren’s song is sharp song, briar
song, thorn song. And wren’s flight is dark flight, flick flight, light
flight. Yes. Each wren etches, stitches, switches, glitches. Yes. Now you
think you see wren. Now you know you don’t.”
