Eyes of surprise,
a freak-striped beak
can’t squeak or speak
with those fish in its beak –
stowed in a row
with their heads in a fringe
for the puffling to binge,
its appetite sate:
fluffy puffling chick wait,
– safe in your burrow,
below.

Hi Rhiannon

I like binge its appetite sate - very clever use of words.

I really enjoyed this.

Thanks, Jean, I enjoyed sorting this out! Hope you've had a good time with the grandkids. I'm likely to be offline for about a week after today, so I may be slow catching up then. Rhiannon
