Tree Cops ~~~  Cries of distress scream through my daydream From warning shrieks in the treetops ~ No mortal being can explain the mystery Mother Nature installs in her treecops ~ Robins of spring rally round a war-cry Sparows and Finches with warning take flight ~ One Robins plight now gathers a melee With dive-bombing Starlings joining the fight ~ One eyebrow raised I head for the garden The mystery is guiding my steps ~ But I'll never know the cause of the show I scared off the actors I guess ~~~ I'm not ugly! I'm just visually challenged! |

Like the thoughts here and the title. Too bad they can't write tickets. |

I love the sound usually, but sometimes at 6Am, the crow's arguing is way too much. I really enjoyed reading your poem! |
