You are not large
you're kind of small
for a hawk you'd be no meal at all
perhaps that's why
when feeder's filled
you're the first
back where the seed has spilled
before the Jay
before the sparrow
before woodpecker
with beak long and narrow
among the birds
you stand quite tall
as it appears
you've no fear at all.
