I laughed from the window ledge,
a wadling Puffin
walking down the busy street,
wings covering eyes.
He was lost
unless he had planned this a thousand times,
to espy the vanquished,
those universal global warmers -
the tombstone sayers of Acacia Avenue.
There's too much of the wrong traffic
daily debating those diesel fumes.

I enjoyed this Antony - just a few comments below.

I laughed from the window ledge,
a wadling Puffin
walking down the busy street,

Perhaps it would be more concise to say

a puffin waddling
down the busy street.

2 'dd's in waddling

wings covering eyes.
He was lost
unless he had planned this a thousand times,
to espy the vanquished,
those universal global warmers -
the tombstone sayers of Acacia Avenue.
There's too much of the wrong traffic
daily debating those diesel fumes.

Happy New Year Antony!

Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.
Laugh loud & often - it's medicinal.
Write from the heart - it's therapeutic.
Beauty comes from within - the outer is just skin!
