Poem
Solid gray skies Over daylilies trying to bloom Several different species so colorful Open only a day, live life to the fullest What have I done with my nearly 29,151 days Birds fly in Mostly to feed from birdseeds The feeders need a refill so they can eat Those birds usually fly in, overfill before a rain Another day of possible showers so they have to eat Fresh seed put out Mockingbirds zoom across flowerbeds Land, catch a bug, zoom out Another mockingbird lands on the cement Bobbles along like a roadrunner Redbirds flock in Hit the red feeder that matches his color, perfect camouflage Boy, he is eating gourmet food From the buffet Rakes out what he doesn't like Sparrows fly in Feast upon the discarded seed That landed upon the cement They gobble up those small seeds Fill up in just a small amount of time Female red cardinal Flies in and lands on a wood feeder, aged, grayed with time It seems to match her color perfectly She is harder to see since she blends in She fills up and flies away Amazing No susurrus in the pines No crows cawing all the time Just the symphony of songbirds tickling my ears And the cymbals clanging out woodpecker's notes A few minutes out on the porch How it makes my day Now a zephyr begins to move Stirring the asparagus and spirea Wow! A break in the clouds. The sunlight beams Casting its morning light Across my wildest dreams A flower garden with more plants To feed the birds, bees and butterflies Thank you God for your creation For your gift of flowers A mixture of clouds, rain and sunshine All of life upon this earth
