Stalked Wherever I Walked
I can’t believe it happened to me again this morning. What have I done to warrant these attacks? I have tried kinder words, disguises, changing my route, just about everything but they always single me out. It must be something in my blood that makes me prey to these villains.

Stalked Wherever I Walked First
time it happened I was on the way to school Each
day it recurred like an unbroken rule And
30 years since it started, I would learn This
strange occurrence will obstinately return Have
you ever been pursued and relentlessly stalked? Ever
got attacked by a bandit in black wherever you walked? Resisting
didn’t matter this relentless foe Exterminated
all safety wherever I would go Danger
lurks around me, it is every where Feverishly
pecking my head, swooping from the air Ridiculous
as it may seem and that I even might I
am afraid of their intentions, these villains in flight Every
since I was a boy they would stalked me Never
giving up and always unfriendly Dastardly
intentions with an onslaught that never ends Shameless
attacks from Black birds my once feathered friends |
I
once caught a Black bird and in an effort to tag it, it escaped with my string
around its leg. It flew high up into a tree and got entangled, well out of my
reached. It flew around uncontrollably trying to free itself but only made
things worst by creating a noose around its neck. That bird hung pitifully outside
my kitchen window and was visible from where we sat to eat. It was many days before
it finally disappeared. My intentions, though misdirected were good back then.
Today, I was attacked on my early morning walk but out of practice, I continue
to show my love for birds an even now, I have a dove nesting in my patio at eye
level.
