Birdfeeders

Hawk!

Warnings

are shouted.

Bird seeds are served,

but not for me; still,

hunger motivates me.

Unsuspecting songbirds feed,

inadvertently becoming

 my prey, providing me with fresh meat.

Yes! Bird feeders  —  the balance of nature.

Thanks to Linda for her help with etherees, a poetry form I had not yet tried. Any future tips appreciated. Check it out here:

    Wow! Those are fantastic pictures, Anneli. Yes, everyone has to eat, the hawks and eagles, too. Do you find that the hawks tend to keep the crows and gulls away?

    Dear Anneli
    At ours, the hawks keep the number of wood pigeons low.
    Great pictures

    Wonderful, Anneli! You’re now the fourth of my readers who’ve given it a go with the etheree form, and you did a great job. Not only did you keep with the form, you turned an all-too-familiar situation into poetry, and provided some great photos as lagniappe!
