Anticipation

Avian antics observed in the yard,
Awaiting action beneath the grass.
Avaristic acumen seen in silent regard.
Activity actuates its alacrity
As its aquiline beak attacks the earth.
Achievement assuages its immediate needs
As aestival rituals once more comes to pass.


Day 8 entry in "Invalid Item" 

Prompt: Image
Form: Pleiades
The title of a Pleiades is only one word. And each of the seven lines of the form itself must start with the same exact letter as the word used as a title. Sound fun? It is! There isn't any syllable count, meter, or rhyme pattern necessary... Just start each line with the same letter as the first letter of your one-word title...

Yes I couldn't help but try a little alliteration as well.

avaristic – greedy
acumen – keeness of mind
alacrity – liveliness; promptness
aquiline – curved like an eagle's beak
aestival – Of, relating to, or appearing in summer.

Thank you for taking time to read my words. I would appreciate it if you took a moment and left a comment. Your reaction, impressions, criticisms, - yes, even praise - are all equally welcome.
