Stained Silence

Orange bird is bouncing around the yard. Head tilted my way. I wonder if you're the same one as last year. You seem so unafraid. I wish you weren't so careless. There's a scraggly stray slinking about. A one parent monster with an itchy BeeBee gun. Always looking to have a little fun. You're welcome to use the shrub again. (as your sky-blue eggs are my favorite color). Remember there's no lasting peace around here. Only egg breakers and stained silences. That commence just before the end of your song.

A sweet welcome and warning for the poor little robin. But life is life, and she takes her chances. Nicely penned Anthony. Linda
