John Lawless Poet Rhyme

Squawking Jay

Squawking Jay

The Blue Jay sits in regal pose
always looking down his nose
at the chirping birds that sing
while preening ego’s azure wings.

Andrea Dietrich August 15, 2014 at 11:49 PM Good one, John. Those obnoxious squawkers!! John Lawless August 16, 2014 at 12:04 PM Andrea, it is not a pleasant sound to hear at daybreak.

Robert Lindley August 15, 2014 at 10:02 PM Blue Jays are pretty but for singing give me a mockingbird, the notes are sweeter and the variety astounds! This is one helluva fine write my friend! John Lawless August 16, 2014 at 12:02 PM They're kinda like Audubon's eye candy. Thanks for stopping by.
