Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 On Camera - LP Zoo

A red billed leiothrix flew to

Get a close look at something that,

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

Was newly in his habitat.

What was this thing silent and still

Did wonder the small bird as he

Pecked about it with his red bill,

Gauging this curiosity.

No food upon it could be found,

A disappointing fact indeed.

Any new thing that came around

Was most welcome if it could feed.

As the small bird hopped to and fro,

The camera captured the show.
