John Lawless Poet Couplet

Talk Is Cheep - For Contest

Talk is Cheep


They flit about the yard all day
with chippy-chirpy words to say

plucking through the grass and weeds
they seek the sustenance of seeds

scattered on the frozen ground
a gift from creatures still earthbound.

They disappear as sunset fades
into the icy, frosted glades

secreted in dark’s hidden space
awaiting sunrise’ creeping face

cheering on the breaking day
with chippy-chirpy words to say.
