Barn owl lands on the soft grass
With a giant whump
Scaring away mice and chipmunks
They scatter in many directions
A garter snake was not as lucky
He gets carried off in giant talons
Lunch for owlets
I was rolling along
just fine, thank you
until I came across you
Like a nail in the road, you poked a vicious
hole in my heart, and I went flat
And it was a rough ride
for a while there
and noisy, too-
ka-WHUMP
ka-WHUMP
ka-WHUMP
my heart pathetically
loped along
hoping you would return
to fill the hole you’d made
But now, it’s through, I’m over you
I have a brand new heart
and a much more
careful driver
at the wheel
Tweet, being not to bright, but an adventurous bird
and with men in the park pruning trees that fateful day,
to keep Tweet from playing around the wood chipper he had heard,
Fred and Bart tried, but knew there was nothing they could say.
Such fun Tweet was having, but he was just getting started.
Flitting in and out, dodging limbs that would crack.
Closer into that grinding maul Tweet spun and darted.
There was a soft whump...then some feathers flew out the back.
Fred and Bart knew that poor Tweet was now dead.
For too close to the chipper, Tweet, his head he had poked.
Fred grabbed startled Bart by the bill and then said......
"Don't even start with the shredded Tweet jokes".
For the contest "Enough"
Did not get this entered in time.
