It was love
at first sight
blood rushed
to my head
I sidled up
she looked away
modest, not brazen
I ’specially
liked that
about her.
I teased her
just a little
strutting
so street-wise
then cooing
sweet nothings
offering
tiny titbits
’til one day
she accepted.
Now and
forever
she is
the love
of my life.*

If I didn’t know this was about birds, I wouldn’t. “…strutting so street-wise” That is perfect.

Inspired by the pigeons I can see from my desk. The males are doing a lot of strutting now it’s spring! But otherwise, it’s deliberately ambiguous. 🙂

There are many birds that do mate for life. We had a heron pair that visited our creek. One got injured and was taken to a rescue place. For years it seemed only a lone one came by. But this year I saw two again… could be the offspring of another pair in the area. It was good to see two again 😀
I’ve read a few folks that have actually made it to their 75th wedding anniversaries. My in-laws made it past 50 years. I’ll be over 40 the middle of the month 😉

Thanks, Cheryl! I spend ages gazing out of my writing room window watching the birds and the squirrels that visit the garden. It’s so amusing to see the doves and pigeons courting at the moment.
Have a great week further! 🙂
