The crow and the squirrel
who claim the large tree
outside my balcony,
meet each morning
to pontificate.
Sometimes, I join them.
This morning,
speaking three different languages,
we agreed the weather
has been lousy lately,
and we sure as heck don't need
any more rain.

I love poems that personify birds and animals. Love the unique idea of humans, birds and animals speaking different languages. Favorite line: we agreed the weather
has been lousy lately,
and we sure as heck dont need
any more rain.
