PIN FEATHERED
© by Mary Nida Smith
Birds of a feather
© by Mary Nida Smith
Birds of a feather
Flock together
Protecting each other
From feather heads
Gathering cozy feathers
To feather their beds
And jackets for winter warmth.
Feather-weights will pull
Tail feathers to feather
Their nest while birds
Go naked by day
And freeze by night
As two legged creatures
Nestle down in cozy
Feather beds gathered
From birds that
Flock together.
