Birds of Pray -Not Prey-
A lot of birds were out today
Being chipper as they did play
Carefully I kept my distance
Dancing around without resistance
Excluding fright I didn't approach
For they do worry of those who poach
Giving them my ears instead
Hung out awhile until they fled
I wondered if they sang a song
Just because I stayed so long
Kiss the trees with little beaks
Love sun dew on their baby cheeks
Missing them would have been a bummer
Natal chart for them last summer
Opal moon finds them disappearing
Peering out from a clearing
Quest to search for their hiding places
Resting in their secure spaces
Self-sufficiency amidst forlorn wood
Trees to secure where they currently stood
Used to stop the bleeded
Vet would fix one if so needed
With mercy so they can continue to sing
X-ray could find a broken wing
Yes the fowl enjoyed a warm day in Fall
Zebra pen made flock to call
*Pray not Prey used intentionally
