Poem: Interlopers
John Sherbino
(This poem ran in the April/May 2017 issue of The SCOOP.)
Displacing the locals; winter hardened but few in number
Some larger birds circle overhead then silently leave
Complaints will be made and discussed on power lines.

It's spring and the Grackles are back; a cloud of beaks descending
Displacing the locals; winter hardened but few in number
Some larger birds circle overhead then silently leave
Complaints will be made and discussed on power lines.
