POEM-A-DAY APRIL 2012

Day 1 - a communication poem

He drops in unexpectedly.

To cheer me up? Keep me posted?

To tell me he and the missus

are doing just fine?

My heart skips as

in his jewelled blue suit

he bounces on the cream brick

paving, tail like a wagging finger.

I can't help myself:

Hullo Mr Wren! I call through

the window.

At which he hop-steps-and jumps

off human territory

onto the low branches of a gum tree.
