Stellers Jay
An arrow flicker of blue out the window
Flit flit flee and a stab for seeds
Woosh vibrant cobalt wings
against the ochre orange maple
Partnered forever they pounce and prance.
Mothers late with peanuts “Wah, Wah, Wah”
Tap Tap Tap on the window
Mom named them the peanut pack
Piggy- two peanuts at a time
Poppy – in and out as fast as possible
Picky- a ditherer unable to make up its mind
Attacking and spearing
a hornets nest-a-buzzing
Braving the sting a-ring-a-ding-ding
Witness the nest transported to a meadow
Drop-a-plop-plap wasps parlay
Leaving the larvae for breakfast .
We follow
One questions with a tilt of the head.
Provoking curiosity and the possibilities of play
