Lonely is a Vagabond

The whisper of mist

inhales a musical sound

that vibrates misery

from a mourning dove.

 

It combs 

back porches for dropped

black seed & peanuts

from blue jays

and glad for the

opportunity to show

humility

for any scraps.

Do you mean 'trawls' rather than 'trolls' at line 5?

Thank you Ewan for such helpful comments. I do prefer "troll" but "comb" is more direct. All the best with your novel.

Ewan, is't that one of those interesting words that has different meanings? Dictionary.com seems to define 'troll' as it defines 'trawl'. We use 'troll' nowadays for internet hostile commenting, but maybe in Canada it is used still for the drag-fishing? Then there are always the folklore creature trolls! Rhiannon

An interesting conversation, Eh?  In my fishing days we always trolled for fish.
