The chimney pots
became a house
a home for birds
from around these parts
no smoke emitted
a cowl, was fitted
dispersing the smoke
who actually fitted?
that old slate roof
from
the very strong pots
Facing the gales
more than one
was made in Wales
that chimney pot
Standing on its own
Weeds are growing
we know the reason
seeds are sown
in every season
as many we know are wild wind blown
birds still visit
still sit beside
the pink cracked pots
Somewhere to hide
Autumn day.
