URBAN PICKINGS:


Pick & peck of little peckity pickings,

Beaks to pavements of urban chickens,

Little birds seeking small bits & scraps,

Toasty crumbs from table that overlaps.

 

From cafe´s terraces, eyes always peeping,

With dropped morsels, contented tweeting,

Pigeons, tits & wrens, in soft grey ploddings,

Step by step, seeking always, heads a-nodding.

 

Harsh concrete jungle of dried urban pickings,

Upon sidewalks, human dross, ever sticking,

Survival for plumed ones, by fingers dropped,

Rapid flitterings, before all is swept & mopped.
