#Winter #Birds #Vanished
A few days ago
they were going about their business
sailing through the blue sky
and dropping on any morsel
you could find
Bird feeders lined with Bacon fat
would find nuts and berries galore
and Magpies, Crows and Swallows
would feast like kings or queens
Occassional Snow Flurries
Tempted the Feathered friends
To head for some place warmer
escaping arctic winds
or the nearest evergreen – to huddle
But as Santa makes final manoeuvres
the chill wind seems too much
even for the hardiest of birds
where’ve they gone? Nobody Knows.
