COCKSCOMB



Magpietales #80

Their feathers shorn
he leaves the shop
Cockscomb bright.

The night is young
Rain washed clean.
A different shearing

Awaits. The
 rubber shod figure
will soon crow.

  4. What would he then be shearing? Not sheep would it? Love the staccato bursts of words in the verse.
