A hawk visits

The neighbor’s roof. Red-shouldered hawk, Raleigh, NC. May 2025.
A hawk stopped by
Here yesterday
I learned of him
From angry jays.

He acted like
He couldn't hear,
Though jays buzzed by
His perch so near.

Resigned, he jumped
To fly away
Flapped once, twice,
And sailed away.

One thought on “A hawk visits

  1. A bit trite, I know. I was striving for some of those little poems about the mundane that Carl Sandberg and Robert Frost would write.
