L Milton Hankins Poet Triolet

Welcome, Tiny Wren

We wish you every success in building your nest
In the small mailbox next to our front door
Some might consider you a disruptive pest
We wish you every success in building your nest
Never has a tiny house wren become our guest,
Or, chosen to lodge so close to us before
We wish you every success in building your nest
In the small mailbox next to our front door.

L Milton Hankins June 14, 2021 at 8:53 AM They are such sweet little birds...unfortunately, the mailman scared it away. Really pissed me off! He could have put my mail behind the screen door!

Jennifer Fenn June 12, 2021 at 12:33 PM Fun triolet! I bet you had as much fun writing it as I had in reading it. L Milton Hankins June 12, 2021 at 1:07 PM I did, indeed, Jennifer. I first noticed her when I was having my morning coffee but, alas, she didn't stay. I'm pretty sure the mailman spooked her.

Jenna Logan June 12, 2021 at 9:33 AM This is delightful, Milt. L Milton Hankins June 12, 2021 at 10:35 AM Thanks so much, Jenna. I have my doubts that she will stay because the mailman will really upset her. But, I'm going to tell her to leave the mail on the porch.
