catbird singing (in the dead of night)
catbird chirps along stone walls
saying look at me
follow me
this way where the water flows
trim and proper in tailored suit
catbird mimics
moon walking
whistling across dance floor
tricks up sleeves and a beak
full of pranks
catbird screams
like a wee lad crying wolf
one eye on brighter side
falling sun
invites night flight
catbird chasing brand new day
august two thousand fourteen

John.. I love the nod to the Beatles.. Or am I wrong ?
Oh no, you are correct my friend 🙂
I cannot read this and not hear Blackbird…they are now merged.
I know what you mean – I’ve been singing ‘Blackbird’ last few days now 🙂
Love the poem and the song!
Thanks so much, Lola!
Gorgeous couldn’t help read it in the tune of blackbird :))) 💛🐝
