Daily writing prompt : Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?


Such a friendly fellow

with no intention to steal

still the seed called to him

a luscious meal


In the darkness

guided by the moonlight

over the fence

feeder in sight


A bird saw him

sounded the alarm

an attempt to stop him

caused no harm


Climbing high

giving the feeder a swing

seed flying everywhere

grabbing what he could bring


Cheeks full

with some on his back

scampering away

this night brings no lack


No way of knowing

feeder is just for the birds

feed food for the taking

not to be deterred


Unintentionally breaking

an unwritten law

the thief will return

abundance for all
