Stalker
I almost missed him,
sitting there on the low hanging branch
just inches from the ground.
What the...?
Is that an illusion?...
I don't recall that object
in my memory's eye.
Wait, an eagle?
No, too small, but wait...
A bird for sure.

Stalking.
The jays, chickadees, doves
even the squirrels
Have disappeared from the feeder.
Fetch the binoculars.
wait, don't go.
the red tailed hawk
soars off
without breakfast,
this time.

your words are so honest, I can feel the pause, and the wit in it.
powerful imagery.
:)
staying empty stomached is bad.
very powerful lines.
This is powerful.
masterful piece.
a fact mistaken or an illusion,
they do puzzle us.
lovely wonder.
stalkers are like ghosts,
they haunt us and scare us, but no harm done in general if you know it well.
lovely imagery.
You captured it well. Good one!
perfectly haunting.
a bird or an eagle,
that does make us open our eyes,
we can be specific and true,
we can be abstract and remote,
life does give us options and we can enjoy our freedom and write life as romantic and decent.
glad to see your inner wonders.
perfectly beautiful poetics.
lovely title,
this makes us wonder what we are seen by others
and how we react if being assumed or how we feel when we take others as outsiders
fun verse.
smart words.
deep dig on stalkers.
powerful description of your subject.
real or fake,
it depends on what we see.
fantastic verse.
A wonderful little poem. Felt just like being their myself sharing your excitement over the birds :)
keep birds' eye is important.
Gotta love bird watching :)
we basically stalk on everything,
near us, or far away from us.
unintentionally.

the more you write,
the better you write.
