Sunday Whirligig's 12 given words:
black beige fly aiming branches oaks feeders
warblers (many different kinds of small singing birds)surprise open arms drought
3WW given words:
abrupt uncovered vacant
They come in all shades of the rainbow
Black beige blue of all hues with blessings
Melodious to the ears the paths they follow
Beauty of small birds that come to sing
They fly in numbers gregarious in swarms
Aiming for branches of great oaks as feeders
No surprise warblers received with open arms
Heat of the drought forgotten as sad reminders
Abrupt in take-off but very graceful in flight
Not unlike fast carriers that swoop and dive
Presence uncovered when they choose to alight
From bushes thought vacant but very much alive
For Thomg's 3WW #471 and
MMT's Sunday's Whirligig #51
Hank - love the title and I am def a bird watcher. This week it seems a woodpecker is knocking. I can hear his tap, tap, tapping causing me to stop and search out where the message is coming from as I try to decipher his code.
ReplyDeleteWhat a joyful poem - sometimes you need to be reminded of the beauty of small things - thank you for doing that here
ReplyDeleteThey can chirp and sing and wide eyes of the cat to their side they will bring haha
ReplyDeleteSo full of beauty. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI love birds - except the seagull which is currently bashing my window with his beak! Nice one Hank.
ReplyDeleteMy 3WW tale!

ReplyDeleteHard to believe the heart that beats in the tiny bodies!
ReplyDeleteThe energy they bring is reflected in your poem! Lovely!
