A "BONK" AND A "MOON"

Early June morn

    Sun up and bright

I'm at my "writing window"

     barely up

The grain feeder is but

    five feet away

beckoning the birds

    "Come, partake!"

I, musing, was startled

      by a  LOUD BONK,

A  big bird had bumped the

      window!

And was on the grain, his

      beak busy,  and with all

his jerky motions, checking me

     through the glass!

I was still, and watched.

It was a  beautiful white-winged

     dove, size of a little

chicken, blue and white showing

     under his folded wings

Truly a masterpiece from the 

     Creator.

Tho' a little worried about me

      He was enjoying his breakfast

WHEN a lithe slender cute girl dove

      Fluttered in with a furious fanfare

She landed on a bush not two feet 

     away from him....and peeped something

I could not make out

Then she took off and he turned and

     leaned away from me, and over the grain,

He grabbed a beak-full. and in the

      process

MOONED ME,

       big time...and then he left

with a swoosh.

I think she had said:

      "Your coffee is ready!"
