A mid-morning surprise:

A missing visitor,
(once known for regular visits),
a stunner for sure,
has finally decided
to make an entry,
returning to his favourite tree
after many many months.

Hiding now and then,
wary of noises,
disappearing and reappearing
after an interval of days
all he/she asks for...
a bit of 'compassion'
when wandering outdoors.

'No stone throwing, please,'
is the silent plea from
this watchful chameleon
while striking a pose.
'A childish prank,  it hurts,'
is the fervent whisper 
on behalf of the rest of the clan.

See you later...
I'm off to a nearby wall
for a bit of sunbathing.
