A Winter Buffet Poem by Donal Mahoney

A Winter Buffet

Rating: 4.0


A bright winter day
and not a leaf left
on this skeleton

tree teeming
with sparrows
chirping and hopping

branch to branch
waiting for the feeder
to be free of cardinals

juncos and jays
bickering for seed
while on the ground

four doves
stroll in silence
feasting on spilled

seed near the tree
where a fat squirrel
sits with tail high

in a question mark
ready to dive
and scatter them all
