nd 2.01 XXV poem

nd 2.01 XXV poem

Septolet


Determined Souls


Defiant critter 

Continues to 

Destroy 

Bird feeder fortress


Stopping

Gnawing teeth

With metal wire

That big ‘ol squirrel chewed through some plastic zip ties holding up some of ‘my defenses’ for the bird feeder.  I don’t think his teeth are gonna like the copper wire I added to the new zip ties. Chickadees and wrens are still getting through to get seeds. So, that’s good. I haven’t quite figured out the right ratio for the red pepper flakes - but I’m working on that too.  

The squirrels have their own feeders... But I guess the squirrels think that all the bird feeders are theirs too! 


Septolet 7 lines 14 words split into two sections.
