A sonnet? OK!
The mockingbird is wet and wants to eat
Swinging on the feeder in the rain
His staring eye breaks through the windowpane
All the while, pecking at his treat.

Engaged in inter-species tete-a-tete.
"What fortune you do have to be inside,
As I eat my wet and meager meal;
Do you have a notion how I feel?
I swear, this rain has soaked me through my hide!"
"No," I thought, as he flew away
"I have no wings, so on the ground I stay."
