#writeclub #birds
Back in summer – they were everywhere
soaring through the skies
landing on the green grass
giving everyone a surprise
But, soon the west wind traded spots
with north and to the east
perplexing swallows in the trees
and by water, ducks and geese
Some of the birds left early
and headed off to the warmth of the south
while others spent under cover
as they fed their little one’s mouths
But the locals, they’re a hardy bunch
and built some sturdy nests
storing away some tasty treats
out of way from unwanted guests
So, keep your eyes a peeling
you might spot a bird or two
as they head off for a spot of shopping
like the hoo-mans do
