provides the sky

with a menu

of “jeeahs” in shades

of sound

 

not upset calls

but eager

for peanuts on the

balcony banister

 

and he lands

hop-skips

to the largest peanut

lifts & tests its size

 

then disappears

with his prize.

I enjoyed this very much - it is so happy! Your bluejay reminds me of the jackdaws which come to our house for peanuts :0)

Thank you D-J, and this is what sharing our writing is all about. Sharing thoughs and ideas that resonate with our own surroundings.
