The Pigeon Fancier! (IP)

Bird flying high
You know how it feels
Gymnast of the sky
Fly aerial cartwheels

Bird flying high
Was it really meant for me
That present from the sky
You sent hurtling down to me

Bird flying high
If there’s to be some more
Tell me the reason why
It’s me you’re looking for?

Bird flying high
It was not once but twice
Enough to make me sigh
And that’s not very nice

Bird flying high
What kind of bird are you
If I identify
I may decide to sue

Bird flying high
I see you are a pigeon
So will you tell me why
You gifted me a smidgen

Bird flying high
That was not a friendly thing
It landed in my eye
And made it water and sting

Bird flying high
You think you are so clever
But now you will die
Once I pull this blessed trigger

Bird you know why
Your maker you shall meet
No more flying high
For you my fair athlete

Bird that flew high
Is now dead at my feet
Now I can make a pie
And it can be the meat?

Hello Jolono, You are still speaking to me then. Thanks for the read and the comment. All day I've been thinking of turning the gun on myself. Glad it made you smile. Moya

Hello Linda, Thanks for the read and the comment. I see you have something posted so will be taking a look shortly. I did enjoy writing this one though. Moya

Thanks for making me smile, too, Moya. And I don't care for pigeon pie, although my husband does;-) Tina

Hello Tina, I'm with you on the pigeon pie bit. I prefer to see them sitting like old married couples on my fence while my Lincoln keeps his eye on them. They are not allowed to land anywhere on what he regards as his airstrip! Moya

Well there you are, Moya... perfect rhyming, and you said you couldn’t do it. Lovely tongue-in-cheek Pam Ayres-type tone and I did like the Nina Simone/Michael Buble opening: Bird flying high You know how it feels Cue lovely slinky, sexy music big band intro... Great stuff and by the way... can I share the pigeon pie? I’ve never had it you see. Trev

Hello Trev, Thanks for the read and the comment. I think I may be getting a bit better. I want to because every so often I really want to write a poem. And I did enjoy writing this. So glad you noticed the Nina Simone/Buble opening. I don't know why it kept popping into my head but that was what got me started. If I made a pigeon pie I wouldn't eat it. Give me a Steak and Kidney or my new favourite Pork and Tarragon pie. Delish! In fact I might just make one tomorrow. Yum Yum! Moya

Invite me over, baby, I love all that too. Yes, it's interesting what gets the writing started, the creative juices flowing. I this case a line from the Simone penned song, Feeling Good, did it for you. Keep doing it, Moya. Trev

Pigeon Pie? My favourite! Nice poem Moya, you should write more poetry, this site has some wonderful poets on here, I'm learning all the time!

Hello Edenfalls, Yes, I am getting a bit more confident about posting poetry although more so with rhyming poetry but not with what I call image poetry like Silver. I just don't seem to see the world as she does. But once she points it out I recognise it straight away. Thanks for the read and for the comment. Always appreciated, Moya
