Today's prompt from Robert Lee Brewer: Write a "bird" poem. My first thought was of a certain type of bird that frequents my back yard, and earlier this year took up housekeeping in the hanging planter of New Guinea impatiens on my back porch. They're cute little birds, but they can make quite a racket when they're upset, like when you get too close to the nest.
House Wren
little
chestnut neighbor
tail at attention
nests
comfortably in
the hanging impatiens
on
my porch
until I approach
she
chatters rebuke
for my trespassing
we'll learn somehow
to get along
