Eating Cake

Each morning on my window sill

A little robin sits.

He stays around for a while,

Then away he flits.

Is it me he comes to see,

(Perhaps he likes my company ?)

Or is it the piece of cake I leave,

That he pecks at gleefully.

He makes me smile, it cheers me so

To watch him eat his fill.

To see him happily eating cake,

Dining, on my window sill.

A wonderful, joyful little poem. But for sure the Robin visits you for food, he is not the sweet bird you imagine. I love your verse, regards, Kevin

Nature can surely test our senses, but we have to have some input in getting there. I did the same thing with peanuts for the Jays, squirrels, and chipmunks when I had the opportunity. Always fun to watch and your poem reminds me of those days. Nicely done and thanks for the memories.
