Mockingbird and falling leaves: poems

HAIKU
mockingbird
sips the water
before its bath
~~~

Brown leaves
fly by the droves
into the holly tree
for good seats at the mockingbird
concert.
~~~

GOSSIP?
Early,
a mockingbird
gabbles to its world
from the dogwood tree, changing up
its tunes.
~~~

WITHIN SIX FEET!
Testing
my hearing, are
you, mockingbird, like she
did in real life with recorded
voices?
~~~

SEAT AT THE OPERA
High-wire
recitatives
and arias from le
oiseau moqueur amuse me on
the porch.
