Question: Another morning snapshot, comments!?
Beggar
by C!.S!. Scotkin

Rap-rap-rap
Rap-rap-rap
Who, what devil
knocks so soft
at my front door!?

Seven fifteen, a robe
Unfit for human eyes
Pulled closed!. Louder!
Rap-rap-rap!
Rap-rap-rap!

Peek out window
spy gray dawn,
a neighborhood
Beggar, clothed
in bridal veil white
with rapier, gold!.

Smile
Good Morning, Egret!
offered hot dog
swallowed whole,
continues his rounds,
ignores geckos… for now!.

Yes, you are usually awesome!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wow, that makes the common-or-garden old grey squirrel, the sparrows and the thrushes I get seem very dull visitors!.

An egret, wow, I mean that's a bird, right!? A kind of tall thing, right!?
With white feathers and a gold beak(!?)!.!.!.!.most natural thing in the world to mistake that for a neighbourhood beggar , clothed in bridal veil white with rapier, gold!.
Well, it is if you are still suffering from a night on the tiles when you wake up, that is!.
Great story!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What a great "wild" pet - too bad its learned how to "knock" on your door and get food!. You will have a hard time - getting it to stop - so you might as well enjoy it - knowing that your mornings home - may be disturbed!. I envy you - having this closeness with nature!. Nothing around here but possums!.?Www@QuestionHome@Com

C!.S!. you are awesome as usual!. I really love your original points and the concise way you express them!. I wonder if it wouldn't be more effective to use "tap-tap-tap!." It seems that that might be a more descriptive onomatopoeia - your call, of course!. Thanks for sharing it with us!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What interesting mornings
you have Egrets
I have chipmunks
who would rather steal than beg!
And Border Collies
who would beg for
and if that didn't work steal
a whole hot dog
any day
