The Oven Bird


The song of this ugly bird

fills the kitchen and escapes

through the window, this thing

that could only gobble in life,

teaching the tree one to sing.


Note:

There are two birds being referred to:

the first- the turkey in the oven
the second- an actual bird species, the ovenbird.

    It’s based on the title of a Robert Frost poem.
