Mystic Rose Rose Poet Free verse

Cafe Au Lait

He twittered close to me 
 one wobble at a time 
 without a chirp without a sound 
 just feathers, beady eyes 

 He found 
 a pine cone on the ground
 and with his beak 
 he tossed it 
 this way ...that 

 Then suddenly he flew away, 
 leaving me at the window 
 watching 
 like a morning starved girl 
 before her cafe au lait

Ingrid Lehman July 31, 2019 at 9:04 PM I love this! Brings to mind the robins at my cottage which rustle through the leaves, throwing them around looking for grubs. Very amusing to watch! Great poem :)

Caren Krutsinger July 28, 2019 at 7:27 AM A slice of life that made me smile, and I pictured you as Heidi, with two long blonde braids down your back, wearing a swiss blouse, and a fancy rickrack-lined skirt.
