magpies (Remove filter)
Fight! Fight!
The magpies
nesting in the beech
began shouting
angry
to see a squirrel
in their tree
Â
Attracted
like bad boys in the playground
more magpies
joined in
hopping from branch to branch
a harsh chatter
of anger
Â
The squirrel
preferring a quiet life
Â
left
by way of my garden
wall
Â
Â
Â
Today the tree is silent
