At the Feeder: Poem

 

At the Feeder

Every forest we bring back

Cools the land

And protects the water

To build tomorrow better.

I watched how birds bow

And throw

A tantrum at the feeder.

Tufted titmouse is sweet and feisty.

The chirping sparrow

Was bold brave,

And full of sparks

With an attitude of the hawks.

Morning dove kept the bill in the water

Like using a straw

With suction-like drinking method.

There are backyard secrets

Kept in floppy feathers –

Because clean water matters.
