Timmy Titmouse Connoisseur of Faeries
Timmy Titmouse had two loves, both faeries, and delightful.
The differences between them were miniscule, not insightful.
They were both empathetic, kind, and they always loved him so.
Timmy had trouble thinking about just one, both of them glow.
Why not find another titmouse? His parents asked in a stern way.
He did his best, but always came back to

The Titmouse Symphony the Name Sikorski Means Titmouse In Polish
Captivated and compelled to find my little friend,
who has broken out in song again.
Sitting on the window ledge,
he stretches his neck as he tilts his head.
Releasing a group of compact and purposeful notes,
I gaze blissfully upon his silken, iridescent cloak.
Feathers...
Fashioned and fitted
and plucked to perfection,
he begins to sing this mornings delightful rendition.
I am wondering

Titmouse
Each day was spent in anxiousness,
and lives were framed by window squares,
now sealed, surrounded, sized and shut,
against the brittle tides...
Our hearts have longed for those we love,
and weep for those we've never met

House Mouse and Titmouse Quarrel
The little house mouse said, “Isn’t it a shame,
How the tufted titmouse has stolen our good name?”
The titmouse could not refrain as she shook her pointed crest
To answer in disdain, “You’re nothing but a pest!”
“The titmouse comes from a proud family and perhaps by now you’ve guessed,
We’re related to the chickadee, we fly with the
