L Milton Hankins Poet Haiku

Freeloader

Cardinal peeking
Red flashes in my sunroom
Seeks window feeder

          Empty feeding box
          Attractive indolent bird
          Pecks at my window

                    Angrily flitting
                    Eyes industrious robin
                    Pulling at a worm

Robert L. Hinshaw April 28, 2021 at 2:08 PM Excellent haiku, Milton! I have a bird feeder outside my dining room window and have experienced the same thing. Mine is usually emptied by those pesky squirrels and I'm still looking for the perfect squirrel-proof feeder! Bob L Milton Hankins April 28, 2021 at 2:47 PM Hi Bob, they are hard to find because squirrels are very persistent and inventive. I myself have never been able to thwart them. Thanks for your read and your comment.
