Natasha L Scragg Poet Limerick

Peek-A-Bird Tweet : Nursery Rhyme

Peek-A-Bird, Peek-A-Bird, Peek-A-Bird Tweet!
Jumping off the nuts, landing on its feet.
Peeks through windows on the ledge
Tucked safe away from the edge.
Is he saying, "thank you for the treat"?

He puffs out his chest against the breeze,
His feathers a shield, so he does not freeze.
The peanuts give him might.
We watch him with delight!
He sings, full and happy, flying with ease.

As darkness falls and he takes his rest
Cosy and plumped up inside his nest,
The joy we feel has no words!
For we chose to feed the birds!
One of the simple ways to feel blessed.

If you see birds in your garden or street,
Hang up a feeder with plenty to eat!
They'll feel good. We will too!
They'll sing heartfelt thanks to you!
Peek-A-Bird, Peek-A-Bird, Peek-A-Bird Tweet!

Marikate Kingston June 13, 2023 at 4:04 PM Tweet, tweet back, this was a cutie. We are a bird family too. I enjoyed your play on words. " Peek a bird" peek-a-boo. I would like to be a backyard bird after reading your poem. :) ! Natasha L Scragg June 20, 2023 at 2:52 PM Thanks Marikate. Peek-a-boo was in my mind when I wrote it. Love watching the birds feeding and even the way they walk makes you smile. Such beautiful creatures :-)
