The Mockingbird's Mistake

A mockingbird sits on my windowsill, Eyeing the shelly beans I am cooking He snaps open and shut his sturdy bill So intent is he in his window peeking, He fails to see the black cat sneaking. written July 8, 2021

Hey, Jan. Actually, I haven't seen any poems with mockingbirds lately. Did I miss someone? Mockingbirds are very brave when they are hungry. Oh, slow me, I got it. Yes...I hear you!
