Question: Would you comment on this poem, about an unexpected visitor!?
Surprise Visitor
by C!.S!. Scotkin


I should have known
or had a clue
cats two stepping
on the porch,
playing Baryshnikov
chairs to table
dizzying pas de deux,
I should have guessed!.

Screech! warblers hoarse from joy,
squirrelly Tarzans
without vines land on tinny roofs
ducks weave and shuffle
their own parade, kazoo sounds
to greet their twinkly pond
throwing back the sun’s first rays,
Here, catch!
I should have known!

North wind stole away
a high latitude
chilled pitcher,
poured great draughts on my world,
crisp and cold
thirst for Autumn,
quenched!.
