Egg Song

Matilda the peregrine Chanticleer Has taken up residence Along the 18th Fairway Chicken-walking pizzicato- pecking Rearranging the leaf pile Clawing with sharpened talons Making herself at home Laying her eggs randomly Amongst golfers’ errant balls Indistinguishable from a distance Her plaintive egg song Like the golfers’ call Lost in the Wind

I very much enjoyed your poem. It is a concise and elegant word picture that presents an unusual and yet believable scene that delights and amuses. I hope Matilde, the imperious and wandering "peregrine Chanticleer", continues to enjoy that fairway!
