Mimic
Imitator
Fierce protector of home
Sharply demands that visitors
Move on.
But wait,
King of Songbirds,
My porch, my cedar tree, your nest,
I am willing to share my space,
And you?
Grey Bird
White banded wings
Tail upright, eye-to-eye
Insists this space is his domain,
Move on.
From pole
He announces
To all who will listen
Intruder alert, stay away,
Take flight,
Listen
Clearly I say
Let’s be friends, not foes,
He stands his ground, going nowhere
That’s that.
