Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Monty and Rose

Monty and Rose, bird couple who

Spend their summers at Montrose Beach

In Chicago where both birds do

Lots of conservation outreach.

Great Lakes piping plovers, they be

Ambassadors for species that

Is endangered primarily

For loss of lake shore habitat.

In winter time they separate.

Destined to Florida be Rose,

Bidding a so long to her mate

As off to Texas, Monty goes.

But hopefully each summer quest -

Back to Chicago to both nest.
