L Milton Hankins Poet Quintain (English)

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.

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!
