To
and
fro,
upside down
and
backwards,
the woodpecker
maneuvers
his body
this way
and
that
to sip
nectar
from the
hummingbird feeder.
Oh that is so clever Bridget! I tried a gorilla one. Have you seen the Flamingo one in World Rat Day?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Catherine! I'd love to see your gorilla poem. I haven't seen the Flamingo poem in World Rat Day, but I look forward to reading that book. We have some very bold and acrobatic woodpeckers in our backyard who like to muscle in on the hummingbird's nectar even though they are too big. =)
ReplyDeleteI like this, both the structure and the narrative!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tabatha! I am amazed by these bold woodpeckers, thus the inspiration for the poem. =)
