Curious Meeting



Easter past and April soon to end
dark the lilac shades the hedge
I whistle to my blackbird friend
he flies in quizzical
he sits takes my eye and
patiently awaits the feed
I offered these four weeks

but now he has more urgent need
so takes the dried fruit out of hand
though timorous I think
he came to understand
