On garden violence
sharp beaks stab and scream
with savage intensity
two sparrows duel
These two little garden birds were locked in a tumbling
avian punch up before separating and resuming their feeding.

I really like this poem! It is so much fun watching birds fighting like this . 🙂
It looked so deadly; intense and lethal wouldn’t overstate it.
Sparrows live hard, they do.
‘Nature beak and claw.’ I left out the grasping, talons, yes, tough little dinosaurs.
A rare sight nicely captured.
Thank you 😊
I enjoy your observations on the interchanges between the creatures who live near you. I didn’t know that sparrows fought.
It’s a privilege to live here, lots of wildlife and time to see. These little birds were quite brutal, life is tough. Glad you enjoy it.
