I love watching
all the beautiful
birds fly and
soar through
the bright blue sky.
They sing and chirp
their own unique
songs, all day long.
For some people birds
Are even their own
Personal alarm clocks
They’re much more reliable
And accurate too.
They’re so many
different types of birds
all over the world.
They’re fun to watch
and learn about, especially
When you can identify
Them...
Feathers on the inside to keep you warm
Wings let you gently fly above the storm
Little ones wait for you in the nest
River water up to stocky knees
Spanish moss hangs low from the trees
But you think A fish in your beak would be nice
You and I are about the same
Look each other in the eye, I say your name
Do you seem to understand me?
Crows listen when I speak
little trinkets, little treats
Ma...
It’s evening and I don’t really feel like writing
But sometimes puting words on paper can be enlightening
Writing thoughts down while being forced to let them rhyme
I want to create the habit of writing every day
Some days it’s easy and I know exactly what to say
Other days I’m scrolling through prompts trying to find something I could use
To find a topic to write about can be a challenge for m...
They flit, they float, they fly
Upside down, sideways, to the sky
Tiny colorful blurred from speed
Nectar and pollen a tasty snack
Flower to flower they track
A trusted pollinator, in fact
A symbol of courage and power
Hummingbirds thought to have super powers
To protect the Aztecs in battle...
Birds flit and flutter, a sight to behold,
Swooping for snacks, they’re brazen and bold,
I sip my cold drink while people walk past.
Pigeons strut proudly, their feathers all neat,
Claiming the benches, they’re taking a seat,
I ponder my life as I scroll through my feed.
Seagulls dive down with a raucous, loud caw,
Snatching my fries, without even a flaw,
I watch them with envy, their freedom so...
A streak of blue flashed behind his head
In the garden of him with whom I laid my bed
At a time when I was carefree
A spark of life rose up before my eyes
Before he started all his lies
At a time when things seemed peachy
He brought me that bird and swore love to me blind
But then we both lost our minds
And things started to get dusty
The bird, away it flew
To some distant woman new
But my hear...
Birds in the sky, plummeting down
Quizzical glance, hint of a frown
It seems to me that the sky is falling.
Birds on the ground, small broken bones
People that hide, stuck in their homes
You cannot run from the sky when it breaks.
Beaks and feathers, clouds moon and stars
Need to escape, the world is ours
When the sky drops heaven's right where we stand....
Crimson red in the periwinkle sky
Wings spread, flying low to high
I see you
Cardinals remind me
that you are free
I see you
It’s like you are checking in
Watching over with a grin
I see you
I see you
near and in the distant view
I see you

(Cardinals for some are a symbol of a lost loved one close by. My grandfather also loved bird watching, so cardinals have an extra special meaning fo...
