Feeder Frenzy

Welcome to Avis’s Feeder Frenzy

Choice of suet or sunflowers free

With a dip in the bath below

Flap right up; don’t be slow

Chirp, chatter and cheer

Our sensational band is here!

The Ruby-throat leads with a hum

Northern Flicker beats the drum

Prequel

Peter Piper plucked a pound of putrid plums

Placing them in pies, pasta, and pizza

Peddling them primarily at the park

But putrid plums pay peanuts

So Peter Piper’s prestigious penthouse was repossessed

“Perhaps,” plucky Peter plotted

“Pickled peppers should plump my plastic purse.”

For all who've ever wondered why Peter Piper picked that peck of pickled peppers.

Cycles

echoes in the repeats

the ripples, the riddles of life

from the newborn cry

to the marriage vows

whispered under the setting sun

the rising moon waxes

watching the living pattern

as the waves crash down

the same as they always were

but new
