Jay Bird

Have you ever seen a mob of blue jays

Wings sky blue / crest of

White

Song clear like the rain?

Squawk the scream / most vicious beaks

Chase away suburban / urban winged creatures

Feeders / to steal an easy meal
claw for scrap of territory

Fight off squirrels, owls and hawks

good fortune for the little birds

protected as they hide when they hear the

Jay bird shriek to ward off

Invaders

Sometimes kill birds / small and weak

Ever hear a jay bird

Speak?

Colonizers tongue / thief 

Impersonator of bird calls / rhapsody of

Raptors

Not the innocent litte blue bird

Of urban childhood songs

Blue

Bird blue bird through my window/ common

North American bird / true to its

Nature
