Mother grackle
city dweller
picking popcorn
from the sidewalk.
Dives the dumpsters
while I wait for
backseat fledglings
to spill slurpees
on my vinyl.
Mother grackle
comes to feast on
insect roadkill
from my front grill:
splattered beetles
mangled monarchs
‘squitos plastered
on the window.
Nobel paucar
iridescent
feathers shine in
Texas sun-rays.
"Away! Away!
Loco cuervo!
Keep your guano
off my fender!"
Wise bird, agile
legend says some
fed your brains to
make kids smarter?
Raucous jackdaw
stop that chatter,
take your road kill
shopper droppings
home to nest of
plastic straws.
I’ll speed down the
Mopac parkway,
aim for fat ones
for your supper.
Meet me Sunday,
Central Market
splurge organic
scraps this time.

- COMMENTS
TheRainManabout 15 years agoI think I would find writing detailed comment on this poem (written by a poet who has dashed off some of the most poignant, most painful, even funniest poetry I have ever read in my life) pointless. It would be like commenting to Van Gogh on the can of semi-gloss he knocked over in his garage.
Epmd607about 15 years agoother than that I just wanted to comment because everyone else did.
annaswirlsabout 15 years agoAuthorI noticed that inconsistency, but decided to leave it as is, thinking it did not detract from the poem. I am going to fix it. Easy as changing it to Go now foul fowl! hehe
Tzaraabout 15 years agoin (mostly) consistent meter. "Away! Away!" though could only be pronounced "AH way AH way" if it was the Latin <i>Ave</i>, welcoming whomever. Also, the last line is only three syllables.<p>
Hey. I'm quibbling. A wonderful poem that way more than satisfies the requirements. Clever and funny.
GuiltyPleasureabout 15 years ago....except I LOVE THIS, from the first lines to the last it's a rollicking read. It should be an audio. Food for thought, anna?
