long grey day
and then a saving
flash of blue
Color Lifts Us Up
One Of Those Two In Love
Mrs. Mourning Dove
assumes her post
awaiting his return
Every Voice Raised
the chickadees
are caroling
the echos of rejoicing
Little Wren
do you know
how I count on you
to carry hope
Be Where Your Feet Are
the here
of now
contains everything
Self Conscious
left
is my best
side
Considering The Placement
thoughtfulness is required
in locating
the perfect spot
Keeping Watch
at summer’s threshold
a redwing
stands sentry
Confirmation
joy flew in
and stayed for a moment
proving it was possible
Amidst Blossoms
easy to miss
the thrum and shimmer
darting from bloom to bloom
Messenger
ah, you again
bringing love notes
from the other realm
Bird With Leaf Buds
before the leaves
the buds
before the nest
the plan
BlueBird
a flash of happiness
alighted in the tree
it felt like a reprieve
Bird In Birch
beneath you
I marvel at
your tiny magnificence
Wing And A Prayer
catching air
ascend ascend ascend
The Two Of Us
me in the house
both navigating winter
Forthright
staring down
the weather
Little Bird
gleeful
with seed
The Woodpecker
plumpness
as preparation
for winter
What’s In A Name?
call me
by my real name
groused the pheasant
Field Colleague
Morningside
residing
in the shadow play
heron starts his day
Hummingbird’s Hallelujah
praise
for the nectar
sweet people make
House Wren On The Garden Rail
where to stay?
when all the world
is home
The Thrum Of Thirst
sipping sweetness
from the false foxglove
mocktails in the afternoon
Repose
his soul already
flown to heaven
#zeninthegarden
#leafandtwig
#repose
Style
‘ready to wear’
the couture of birds
The Watcher
of all things
unmasking mysteries
Bluebird So Soft
bright eyed
in a blue sky
hope personified
The Goldfinch
to the feeder
bright as a daffodil
