Sonnet and artwork b Tanith Brown

Tin Kingdom

The drivewa winds through thicket, rough but short, The house unfolding past the grass and stones. The sovereign o er the woodpile (which he owns) Tail bristling, lungs e pelling shrill retort To one who dares to move the pile s support And take a log or two whilst he intones A shriek! He chirrups loudl , then postpones, Then stops, for thief has brought a large escort Whose canines flash and e es gleam for a chase,

Breath clouding in the earl evening cold Whilst fellow trespasser does come apace. Thus lord retreats above to his stronghold And pruning fra led tail so to save face, gnored b all, he soon resumes his scold.
