A couple of blackbird poems

Acknowledgement

Solitary blackbird

soon becomes dawn chorus.

No likelihood of that

in my bed

so I arise and write one for myself.

Joke dawns

That 5 a.m. blackbird is telling frog jokes again

(he’s male so keeps repeating it)

I don't follow the preamble

but get the ‘ribbit, ribbit’ punchline every time.

[both written in response to Jo Prescott's National Poetry Month challenge]
