_______
fluffs soft speckled breast
sports black bib, red bandana
my friend (the) flicker!
_______
Another birdbath visitor and almost as big as a crow! Also, remembering title from youth, My Friend Flicka (about a horse).

in quadrille, rhyming verse Tags: bananas, freckles, kids, speckles, toads, trout
kids have ‘em on their noses
toads have ‘em on their toes-es
bananas get ‘em when yummy ripe
trout wear ‘em with tummy stripe
speckles of sunlight shine upon leaves
treckles of water dripping from eaves
when all’s said and done
freckles are fun!

No changing freckles and no editing this poem 🙂 It’s a quadrille with exactly 44 words for Mish’s prompt at dVerse poets pub tonight.
