User blog:The voice of the voiceless/Pocket poem day!

Hey guys, bit of a random blog today, but one I think you might enjoy. So, yesterday was pocket poem day, where you share and receive poems from other literature fans. The one I have to share is called "There Goes the Neighborhood," by Alice Major.

Magpie as neighbor. You've moved in,

hold your raucous parties, shout at the kids,

fix up your house - a slipshod, DIY

endeavor that always seems half-done. Twigs

strewn all around the yard.

We complain that you've forced out

the elegant kingbird couple

and that lovely warbler family who used

to ornament the neighbourhood,

forgetting that it wasn't you

who moved in first, altered the architecture

of poplar, hazelnut and reed-rimmed slough,

wild rose, stonecrop, berry bush.

We ignore the fact

that you're the only ones prepared to cope with us-

to live off garbage bins out back,

plant your nests where predatory cats

go prowling by, and square up to the cat.

Now, why am I putting this here? Well, because I know there's plenty of fans of poetry, and even some poets on the wiki! So, do you have any poems you want to share? Any you've written or just some you really love? Share them here! Also, what'd you think of the poem I shared? Let me know, I liked it but I want to hear what you guys thought!

My next blog should be a bit less random. It will either be a silly wiki based blog or another battle. Maybe.

This has been the voice of the voiceless, happy late pocket poem day, I'll see you next time!
