Moonlight glistens on snow
and he's stalking,
slyly slinking, belly-cresting
coverts to the coop.
Silence his canopy,
hugging the hedgerows
to safeguard his cover,
there's death in his eyes.
Silence is shattered,
the virgin white snow is blood-spattered;
no mercy is shown,
no quarter is given.
Silence settles again,
he retires, hunger sated,
he'll forage again as
his craving dictates.

Oh beauteous bird, oh regal flamingo!
How stunning is your majestic appeal
Scarlet wing coverts blazing your zeal
Dazzling persona of upside down aura
Bent bill articulating aquatic ballet art
Emulating dance of one legged stance
Ah! how your pink gentilities enchant
In crimson garb, thrilling doting hearts

there's death in his eyes.
Silence is shattered,

I will ride the thermals on golden wing
Through feathers the breeze shall sing
And all below shall win my eye
From tranquil clouds and cerulean sky
Dip and dive in a sun so bright
This golden coat of pure delight
Wings shall span and shadows cast
Primary coverts against the sun contrast
And to the aerie I shall glide
Where love is found at my lovers side
This craggy peak shall ethereal flow
Two hearts sated in sunsets glow
Primary coverts: outer wing feathers.
