Poem

Yesterday 
her nest she made
today inside 
three eggs she laid
for three weeks incubation 
and then the celebration
but until then 
upon her nest
she’ll sit 
for her 
there’ll be no rest
both day and night 
and night and day
for her there is no 
time to play
her partner gone
for hours on end
no doubt he’s out 
amongst his friends
when he returns
so she can fly
I hear her 
talking 
whilst she’s walking
up and down
she squawks and walks
up and down 
she walks and squawks
he’s in the dog house
so to speak
he’s been too long
he knows he’s wrong
so patiently he sits
whilst taking all her hits
for going out upon the town
she’s giving him 
a dressing down
then flying off for food 
and drink
back in a hurry
for her eggs 
she doth worry
she settles down
he’s on the town
he’ll be taking the flack
when he gets back...

after witnessing this scene with a pair of black backed gulls taking residence and building a nest - all in full view of my balcony.  Yesterday I caught a glimpse of her three eggs, as she began to lay them - Nature truly is magnificent!
