He didn't see me as I watched He had one focus on his mind When his eyes look towards his prey For other things he is quite blind He stretches his neck forward And his tail straight out back He can outrun the little creature That soon will be his snack But sometimes he is foiled When he goes to raid a nest I once saw a chipmunk chase And the race was quite the best Sometimes he blends into The surrounding color scheme He waits quietly until something Comes unto his scene He thinks he is invisible But most can spot him there Occasionally though the Little creatures are unaware He is an odd-looking bird And not particularly smart But it is fun to watch him As he begins to run and dart ~ Sharon (Sunyskys1943@aol.com) ~ © Photograph by Sharon (Sunyskys1943@aol.com) July 2004 BACK http://readerscorneratmarilynsplace.com/LarasDen/index.html Secret Road TomCat's Anniversary Remini-Scents GTO And.......for many others, click the index image.
