Palm Warbler Poem by Barry Middleton

Palm Warbler



they are like feathered
over active children

the way they dart about
bobbing their dun tails

they never sit for a second
their song is high and faint

a cheeping that sounds
yellow like their breast

they dart away from me
in a naughty guilty panic

caught stealing pine nuts
ashamed and a bit scared
