GAME OF CAT AND ROBIN
my russian blue cat
static like a statue
on the sun-warmed
window ledge
laser-focused eyes
fixate
on the gum tree
leaves tremble
then still
shrewd cat waits
wet nose
smearing the glass
a robin’s fleeting shadow
darts across
a pool of sunlight
diving into
the center of the light
then swooping back again
in a blur of motion
my cat pounces
chasing the robin
around
the carpeted floor
over and over
he paws at
the imaginary catch
but each time
elusive robin
slips

Red Robin
Red Robin was busy building his nest
From an orange fluorescent hunter's vest
It was a bright sight,
and to his delight
All the female Robins were so impressed!

A Robin’s Song
The bright sunshine signalled a new
dawn,
Lazily, I stretched and yawned,
Not truly ready to face the day,
As I looked out of my window, my
neighbour shouted, it’s beautiful
today.
On a thin and fragile branch,
I noticed a Robin was resting his
feet,
A charmer he was , and to my eyes,
he was a treat,
His colourful

Magna Carta
Magna Carta
Charter that determined
the King does Not
have absolute power
for he may not reign at his own
self-centered whim, nae!
much of his authority must be
siphoned off
Relinquished to
Earls, Lords, Barons, Bishops
Knights no longer must blindly obey
The king and his subjects convened on the
dewy emerald green meadows
Of Runnymede
King John was compelled to sign the Magna Carta

ROBIN HOOD IN REVERSE
The real Robin Hood took from the rich to give to the poor
That tail is for sure
Our Modern Day, Robin Hood straight from Washington, DC White House from the poor giving to the rich
There no enchanted forest, but a person who thinks he is a king of the United States
Robin Hood gave to the poor
Robin

On A Spring Flight
In hasty beats, rhythms so sweet
Wrens soar and chase, crooning softly
Such gentle pleasures, with a ready tweet
Robins climb through the skies, rising
Over the mountains, their wings greet
Flying high, laughing proudly across the peaks
