When Feathers Collide

Bundles of feathery-blackbirds

throw fantasy into a frenzy

stubbornness driving them to feeders

in a staccato of determination

nibbling the only image leading.

Not long later they moved into

our senior’s neighbourhood

gathered their best flyers for

the journey -- tossed aside

all crows, with a raucous army

soon blossomed their territory.

Took apart two blocks of pigeons,

chased away sea gulls --

now able to pause and survey

their hard earned benefits.
