Poem Number Four
A Cheeky Conversation
Such a sweet little bird
hovered at my window
so close that I
could see the slant of
darkly lit
bright eyes
as she peered through the glass
Cocking and turning her dainty little head
on a pivot
as if asking me a question
I was hooked
So I smiled
stood still
Afraid to disconnect from the conversation.
And her elongated beak
stretched
almost as long as her head
opened and closed,as if engrossed
eating some tasty morsel.
Unexpectedly
she turned and
lifted her cute little ass
then -pooed
And I swear that
before she gathered her wings and flew
I saw her look back
angling her head
across her body
lifted her head
and threw me a little
conspiratorial wink.
