Made me think of one of the roadrunners that I have on my property who likes to stare at his reflection in the patio window…enjoyed your poem.

Wish we had roadrunners here! There was once a robin outside an office where I worked who kept pecking angrily at his image in the window – poor fellow. I was afraid he was going to hurt himself. Mating season – scary!! 🙂

‘He stops to reflect’ – and so shall I. And that’s what writing is all about, I think. XO
