Day 9

False Pretenses

A flock of females
They ogle and giggle
Chirps and warbles
Showy plumes teasing whispers
Hidden secrets pecked within
A bevy of kindred spirits
You can spot them everywhere
Birds of a feather stick together

@Laurie Kolp

Sweet work - exemplary. Strongly related to the sentiment of the piece.
