Roosters From Another Creek

Urban jungle roosters, born-again scarecrow, to untutored city eyes, tawny pipit stonewall nester, jet black Inca dove bereft, of dovetail on a croque monsieur, idle bone grub crawl, mother hen to sandy brown, and velvet bill gazer, from an nearby creak, recent rural migrant now, a tree house side kick, chickadee a late date sitter, on this air flock beaky natter, or tweet between the ice float, edgy grey day species wield, their sprightly ruffled feathers, as an orthopaedic surgeon, and their spatula when scraping, rancid bark off windmill elm trees, gastric bugle trenchermen ahoy, while ogling a fellow common redpoll, oh these tummy rumble diners, will zoom in on every gourmet, tangled wire mesh feeder station. round and round they’ll fly, on zesty mission beetroot, a cock-eyed scavenger‘s delight, are they siblings of a noble order? white tale mountain bluebirds swopping, habitat for granite boundary habit, off key off discordant choirboys, six sided snow bird chorus, ear splitter for tardy wakening, they cheep religiously as if, their only valid creed was, window squinting prayer meets

Dear Howard, A compelling poem depicts the cohabitation of numerous bird species in an urban area, highlighting their relationships and behaviors. The poem vividly describes the birds and their surroundings. The reader experiences alliteration ("tawny pipit stonewall nester," "idle bone grub crawl") and imagery ("sprightly ruffled feathers," "gastric bugle trenchermen ahoy"). Well-crafted my friend
