Merlin

The Pair

A merlin cried

incessantly – go away go away,

circling the tallest spruce

in the lot across the street.


There must be a nest –

go away go away (the shriek

like fingernails on chalkboard).


Today the calls

are few – instead, the two

appear and perch

together, on the tree-top,


staring at the scene below –


silent and both readied.

You've drawn a very fine and happy merlin to go with the poem. Many thanks 😃 x
