Bird Watching in Love [Poem]

[Merlin]

It was swift that swallow,
in acrobat fight,
The way it ducked and terned
Then soared like a kite.
With eyes like an eagle,
Alone it swan-dived,
As it larked and sniped,
Then tied knots in the sky.

We both stopped to gander
And craned our wrynecks,
Two love birds together
We wondered what next.
Our eyes were on storks
So choughed by its skills,
Its this hobby of birds,
That keeps us puffin up hills.

So with her-on my arm
Like two turtledoves,
I`m proud as peacock,
Been bittern by the bug.
I can`t shrike the feeling,
And can`t get enough,
It` all jays,rooks and crows
This birdwatching in love.


Just sat down and wrote this,don`t know if it makes any sense,but I thought I`d share it.

That is excellent and extremely clever. I like the way you have used the various birds and woven them in your poem.

Welcome to WAB by the way
