This is something of a surprise. It can be so scary too. It sounds real. However, you have got the right image. Just imagine, the priest coming flying! :) Great haiku Sara.

Valsa, thank you for accepting this one with humor. I meant that the mockingbird went in the church and received Christ as his Savior and now he is a priest. I know a little crazy. Thanks for dropping by . Sara K

That's got to be quite the surprise, Sara. Be careful out there. Your poet friend in Texas, Bill

He started flying into the church and heard the message, Bill. Thanks for the visit. Sara K

this is a clever and well written Senyru. We had mockingbirds in our trees last year; they decided to build a nest and have babies...so whenever we walked in our own front yard, they swooped down coming dangerously close...fuzzy creatures. Enjoyed your poem, Sara K.

Yes, Sara B., they will swoop down to attack if they think there is danger. Scary to passersby. Your visits add a special tenor to my page. Sara K
