I Re: Egret Forsaking Gull Friend Where, Heron Eye Twitter

I re: egret forsaking gull friend where, heron eye twitter

Fictional account related

Aves lusting for verboten tweet 
reed lubricious sin after giving
Twiggy another peck on the cheek.

Whenever this birdman 
alone with his thoughts 
(as they metaphorically 
worm their way to my nest 
of quintessentially straggly, 
and uncombed matted hair), 
I doth twitter tomb 
eye self unbeknownst that 
a flock of seagulls fly 
like an eagle twittering 

morning mister magpie 
while dipping and diving 
on peregrine wings fluttering 
at the speed of sound owls 
watching without giving hoot 
unless aware someone maliciously 
poisoning pigeons in the park, 
(one doubting thomas - leering)
perhaps a lunatic ranting and raven 
whooping crane like, whooshing 

to rise like a Phoenix, yet grudgingly 
accepting fate as a stool pigeon, 
even settling with destiny 
as the cutty wren, a lark 
ascending, pontification asper 
observations of a crow keeping beak 
clamped shut surreptitiously scrutinizing 
the ostrich (with her/ his head 
buried in the sand), or noticing 
how the sparrow looks up 

at the machine, which appears 
to by an audio device issuing 
the thieving magpie overture 
alight with such braggadocio 
and effecting a birds eye view 
of determining contrasted 
with the ugly duckling left friendless 
and instantly bringing to mind 
that somber tune when doves cry 
setting the impossible to shake off 

feeling emotionally caged, 
though with utmost exertion muster 
humming when the red red robin 
comes bob bob bobbin along eager 
to join a whir thee claws such 
as when the swallows come back 
from Capistrano (with an un spa 
beak able aromatic deliciously 
decadent Reuben manwich – 
an American hot sandwich 
composed of corned beef, Swiss cheese, 

sauerkraut, and Russian dressing, 
grilled between slices of rye bread) 
interestingly enough the vicinity 
wheresoever eagles gather 
all the while wondering 
if woody woodpecker, now a free bird 
(after aphid david imbroglio) – 
an accusation where plaintiff 
accused of feathering the nest - 
did tern out favorable, or whether 

the filed aphid dove hid – 
juiced when the believed 
by this American avocet and done, 
an unexpected eggs add jure 
rated claim fed the media, 
and seedy shenanigans 
Toucan entire troops of Archaeopteryx 
to placate all parties concern, 
that crested gobbledygook to end 
finally delivered peace plover.
