a dove who coos without being asked, annoys me
this continuous reverberation
creates a rhythm
and my eyes roll.
the joy with which he calls
slaps me across the face,
he stops as if he knows
and I laugh, recross my legs and continue to rock this chair.

As beautiful as Dove are in my mind! The sound that breaks the silence of our thoughts. Now I pout and then I laugh about the call of action! wonderfully express poem

The definition of relationships in eight lines ~ this is perfect 🙂
And the dove loves this, for the harder you play to get, the more you encourage him ~ the autumn seems like a pretty good time of year for you, Audacious 🙂 Again, simply perfect 🙂

Dear Dalo- imagine having the ear of the dove. What a life that would be. So nice to have you here. Thank you for continuing to read me. ♡

I love the soft coos of tne mourning doves that sometimes hang around here. Birdsong rarely bothers me but we’re all intolerant of something or other. I love that mourning doves always travel in pairs and return each year to nest in the same place as the previous year. Your poem made me giggle, especially when you crossed your legs again.

Miss A., have you tried cooing back with them? I have, and it’s a blast (don’t judge!) It seemed to boggle poor Dallas when they’d coo and I’d coo right back. We could go on for a long time, too!

Oh, my! I’ve not coo’d back. I wouldn’t want to encourage. Lol

They pick and choose their cooing targets just like we humans do, Aud. Hmmmm.

I’m pretty sure it isn’t the planned reaction, but I found this kind of funny. We have lots of doves around here. They don’t make a lot of noise, maybe they’re just being polite.

I found myself giggling at my annoyance to the dove. Funny, is the exact reaction I was hoping for, Dan. Sure I was pouting a bit over something I have no control over but I had to laugh at myself taking it out on the dove. Thanks for your comment.

Mourning Doves are the most annoying. Who asked them to come around cooing anyway.

Giggles. No kidding. I have my morning dove visits throughout the spring and summer season. Why do they always come back. Ha.
