Aggressive defenders
habitual creatures
awake at night
be careful
they hold true grudges
they actually remember
from year to year
they’ll come to you.
Once chosen
a crowded city is ideal
it’s nice to be around them
they blend in
apartments don’t mind
these free spirits of nature
bringing beauty to the whole
a soft wind chime.
Country setting
dive bombing
felines doing backflips
these birds love hard
clearing other species
they’re hard to fit in
when we want peace
our quiet is disrupted
they do not care
or mind they’re chasing
be careful of these birds
they’ll gang up.
Mocking Birds
one of creatures blessings
they’ll sing non-stop
we can count on their company
each season or two
and then they fly
to the Caribbean
warm and lush
calm on vacation.
