Wendy Watson Poet Footle

Birdsong Blues

It's spring
Birds sing

I hear
Their cheer

Tweet tweet
How sweet

Day one
What fun!

Day two
Doves coo

Day three
What glee

Day four
Crows caw

Day five
Survive

Day six
Wild chicks

Cock crows
Ire grows

Loud quail
Nerves frail 

All week
Gulls shriek

Cheep cheep
No sleep

Mad tit
That's it!

Have words
With birds

Spring’s past
At last

No din;
Lie in!

Jenna Logan October 24, 2020 at 5:10 AM Wonderfully entertaining footles, Wendy. I'm wondering why the birds were silent on day 3. lol Loved that you took their songs from something glorious to something less appealing. Great write. Wendy Watson October 24, 2020 at 5:48 AM Quite simply because I didn't want to drag it out too long! I'm really glad it appealed, Jenna. Thank you so much for reading and commenting.

Jan Allison October 24, 2020 at 5:02 AM oh what a fun string of footles I LOVE it:-) hugs jan xx Wendy Watson October 24, 2020 at 5:46 AM I'm glad it appealed, Jan. I wondered about 'Could shoot That coot' but thought it might offend the keen ornithologists amongst us!
