Poem Artwork

The Puffin

Little clown bird
colourful on the cliffs
putting on a pantomime
where tough survival lives.
Life is a bit of a circus,
on the rocky outcrops
you look defenceless.

Little puffin,
keep your head up,
Iona, Fingal's cave, Lindisfarne,
the churchmen need a laugh,
go where the saints live.

Succinct but thought-inciting nonetheless; thank you for sharing, Ken. Love and peace,

I never thought about it. But puffins do look like little clowns with red noses. Your poem describes them perfectly.
