An Urban Idyll Poem by Michael Pruchnicki
An Urban Idyll
Looking at the TV screen just doesn't cut it!
Rather view the passing scene through
the front window
But in February with frozen snowpiles
along the curbs on both sides of Oconto
Avenue, no one's passing by
I keep an eye peeled for the peregrine
falcon which hunts the backyards
for rabbits and pigeons
Just two weeks ago a falcon sat out front,
its claws holding a bloody pigeon
before winging south
