Sonja Prins

untitled

agile fliers like the finch
are always keen to mock the blackbird

while the blackbirds
who enjoy eating my apples

mock the cat
who doesn't know that joy

a joke and a joke makes two
the predator is limited

according to the plant eater

zonder titel

zonder titel

een vlugge vlieger zoals de vink
kan altijd spotten om de merel

terwijl de merels
die zo graag mijn appels eten

de poes uitlachen
die dat genot niet kent

want spot en spot is twee:
het roofdier is beperkt

denkt elke planteneter
