Our latest poem is about the Fann St pigeons, from Dorothy Yamamoto, our poet in residence during June's London Open Gardens Weekend.

A long time ago we were rock doves

nesting in crevices in cliffs,

Now your tall cities suit us well - 

we line up on rooftops,

like barred notes of music,

soothing you with our contented song.

Admit it: if we weren't here you'd miss us - 

our emerald flashes, our purples and bronzes,

our tripping pink feet that make you laugh.

Sit down and rest and we'll come and join you,

sharing the air of this happy place.
