White World

This is a Burmese climbing rhyme. It needs work. But we have had so much snow, of course, I thought about snowbirds. Haha.

White world snowbird
Hunts lunch blurred under fluff
He heard the seed would be there
Bird didn’t have a prayer; the crow
What share could he give the corvine
Better the bovine give him the boot
Or murine play tag with that twitterer
Crows are for the birds
The best words I can tell you
Two-thirds of them are no good
The seed blew through ice crystals
It flew over the cuckoos nest.

You paint a picture so perfect, Robyn, I don't know about the cuckoos nest. I seriously don't like crows. They give me the heebyjeebies. Something about the way they look creeps me. Anyways, thank you for sharing your imagination. I have a new poem up if you'd like stop by and check it out. ;) LINDA

You are so right. Most crows are no good. They are such gobblers, we chase them away from the bird feeder, and they are noiser and more obnoxious than geese, if that's possible.

Robyn, birds got to do what birds got to do to survive. But, how dare the crow eat all the feed. Well done. Great rhyme and imagery. HUGS... SKAT

Extremely intelligent birds those pesky crows. There is no sharing when there is a crow around.
