bird feeder



my new bird feeder, another

avowed addition to my extended solidarity

with the community of winged creatures

had a larger opening at the bottom



for seed to easily slip

soon i realized i made a hole

in my wallet too

i, therefore, covered the gap



with little pebbles to control

the outflow of my loonies

realizing later the very act

of my calculated charity



with all my good intentions

towards my little friends

in fact, i built a solid wall

to shut them out
