Small birds flitter through her garden flowers.
and even flutter through her kitchen door.
Some rush in soaking from Spring showers
to splash drench the new mopped kitchen floor.
She tells their chicklets fairytales
amid her paper, pens, and cages,
writes Odes to Nightingales
- -falls into artistic rages.
She coos to Friday as he dances
or lies cushioned and at ease,
but I’ve seen the cocky way he glances
when she feeds him grapes and cheese.
As for his squawk, squawk, repartee
It's bird abuse of rotten poetry.
