Through the Window

Through the window looking out
Two woodpeckers fly about

Tapping, pecking, listening intent
Tree to tree like sentries on they went

Standing on the trunk they thought
This must be the dinner tree I sought

They appeared as ornaments upon the tree
Dazzling black and white and breast of red to see

Silently in freedom through the trees they glide 
Pictured beauty and boundless fun abide

Never a worry,  flying without a care 
Woodpeckers glory, magnificent pair
