Something Amiss

Long twigs
Short straws
Wrack rope
On the lawn

Signatures
Of incompetence
By collared doves
Flap en clap

Flap flies up
Clap constructs
Flap flies down
Clap destructs

Clapenflap
Flapenclap
Coo coo
Bill bill
Third year this
Of conjugal bliss
Going amiss

Three years of matches
And dropped catches
Do their best
But yet to nest


Since they fledged
In the sycamore
Year four
And again
This year
Once more.

Nesting takes place?
Watch this space.
