He in perpetual motion
She alarmed by ardour feigns indignation
turns her back on the seasonal itch
allegretto tail flick switch
He in a mud puddle cools his heels
She with some puzzlement conceals
an instinct bubbling to the brink
seeks displacement in a drink
He treads water anxiously
She concedes on her bended knee
drum roll for a precipitous pairing
pigeon passion is unerring
Mating with IGWRT’s prompt:Transforming with Nature’s Wonders with this quick-fire rhymer and popping into Poetry Pantry too.
Oh! Pigeon love 😀 this is so cute!!!
Short & sweet unusual for me!
Nature does evoke such wonderful thoughts as if we could read our own human thoughts on their actions…love the tale you have spun Laura!
A bit of nature in the city Donna -Tried to see it through their eyes as well as the voyeur’s
Smiles. I love this. The closing lines made me smile.
Had no idea this would turn out like it has -but light hearted was the only way 😀
Pigeons making out is a very loud business… especially early in the morning… love how you pulled it through,
Thanks for seeing the observation Björn
Perfect! Pigeon passion in poetry…thank you!! 🙂
and thank you Hannah for the prompt which perfectly matched what I had started to compose
Oh good!! I love it when that happens…you’re welcome! 🙂
Very funny, much enjoyed. k.
A smile is worth a lot though most of my poems do not!
Ha. This is adorable. Loving pigeons. Who knew?
& despite the apparent libertine tendencies a mated pair stick together for the duration!
Love the he/she perspective and the way the title ties in to the pigeon topic….very clever 🙂
Thank you for your sharp eyed comment 😀
Enjoyed contemplating the idea of pigeon passion, as I had not given the subject much thought before. Smiles.
True – not usually the topic of conversation 😉
If they weren’t so passionate perhaps we’d a have few less to foul our environment. They could say the same about us too I expect! In fact we are indeed much the same.
Call them rock doves & we feel differently but there is no other name for the mess of the human masses
aww…sweet…
❤
You have my heart all a-flutter!
sounds like Spring fever!
Haha yes you ignited the Spring 🙂 Wonderful mood…
it’s finally here – can feel the sap rising!
allegretto tail flick switch – i could dance in that line forever – we overlook pigeons but they know the world don’t they!
they know how to dance by the looks of things!
Love the rhyme and flow in this Laura. Lovey dovey indeed!
thank you for that comment ❤ was little worried it was too trite rather than just light hearted!
