Editor’s note: Over recent home games, Bramall Lane’s pigeons have been doing pigeony things. Flocking together. Pecking. Flying. Swooping. They have become an unoffical mascot through no fault, no merit, and no choosing of their own.

Are they some kind of metaphor for the looping swirl of a season that one day seems in spin, and the next perfectly calm? Are they a sign, a symbol? Or are they just pigeons?

Whatever they are and whatever they represent, they are an apt choice of muse for another edition of the Pukka Pie Poetry Corner.
