Like Sharks Circling a Chum Ship

Herald of spring,

Barnswallows are back!

–

Tropical winters,

Wisconsin summers.

–

New mud nest,

Or top-mud the old one.

–

Two or three clutches,

Of insatiable young.

–

Dive-bombing children,

And curious cats.

–

Feeding their young,

Who wait on the line.

–

Finally feasting,

On Leafhoppers flying.

–

Circling tractor,

As I mow hay.
