Nature's Bait

 The hawk was there
On the fence
Watching
Waiting
Patient
 
There were no birds among the branches in the dogwood
No birds flitting among the branches of the dogwood
Feasting on the fall berries
The bright red berries dusted with the first snow

The hawk was there
On the fence
Watching
Waiting
Patient

The bright red berries
Nature’s bait
