Carolyn Devonshire Poet Rhyme

Unaffected Voyeur

Red robins hunt among leaves
Last snowbird arrivals revel in sunlight
Shuffling for acorns ‘neath Live Oak trees
Finding a treat, a scurry they incite

Tangled wings, feathers flying
Squirrel approaches undetected
Amid the din of birds fighting, crying
Nut eaten by a voyeur unaffected
