Watching the Feeder

 The bird (a dove?) was pecking ‘round 

The seeds that scattered on the ground.

A chipmunk timidly approached;

The bird disliked his turf encroached.


So twice I saw him lift his wings 

(I rarely get to see such things)

To scare the chipmunk (just a guess);

The rodent, though, felt no distress.


A cardinal came by to feed

And little birds of unknown breed.

The dove calmed down, the chipmunk stayed

While from my perch, I never strayed.
