tim's Bits and Pieces - 17. Bird Styles and Morning
The last poem was from this morning as i looked out my window.
Nuthatch
You’re tiny, small and very quick
I wonder what you think,
As around me, you flit
And cling tightly to the brick?
You bravely come to feed, and stay
No matter if I venture out
Offering forth your favourite seed
I hope from my hand—one day.
Sparrow
Loud and brash, they gather in gangs
Pushing and shoving like brutes
Relentlessly chirping their displeasure
They fight each other for space at the trough
Woodpecker
The sparrows scatter when he arrives
The braver ones bluster and squawk
They quickly learn it’s wasted effort
Dressed in black and white, with a cap of red
He takes his time sampling the choicest seed
In the early morning
When there is silence
Peace
The sky is gray with clouds
My heart wanders to love
And who
It’s a feeling greater than
Words
Expression
But somehow you know
