Pigeons Pompous city dwellers, pretentious rock doves now parade around like some popinjay or fancy peacock, and yet, they're not persnickety eaters, pooping on everything. (Pleiades) 4/11/2021 Pleiades P Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Kim Merryman

Congrats on your winner. Way to go. We used to have pigeons all over our downtown square. I think they hired someone to remove them and then fix it where they would not have a place to roost. I like the sounds they make but they do create a mess all around. People used keep them on farms to have food called squab. Sara

Thanks Sara, I used to raise pigeons when I was a kid growing up on a farm, and yes they taste good roasted, I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.
