Cleaning Day

Rinsed red silo hangs;
hummingbird’s truly flummoxed.
Bare feeder-hook thing
dangling from chokecherry branch–
one sparrow swings so gaily.

Flierarchy

Black-bibbed sparrow tucks
In to his seedy breakfast–
Must have called, “first dibs!”.

Cooper’s

Hawk swooped from above
To my yard, like an arrow–
And scooped a sparrow.
