Autumn Bird

Oh... how delightful! If only we could bring them to life and make them stay. I agree with Andrea. You should write more...

Rereading this lovely gem. You need to write more!

The deep desire which we all feel for the wild, the unreachable - a terrific poem. Michael

Suzanne, neat that your friend touched your heart with this gift. The real birds have to fly and keep us company for a while only. This is a great reminder of the nature of relationships and friendships as well. Life holds such joy and sadness together in sync.

I loved reading this wonderful write. A pretty bird picture/a great gift. I wish you would write more. Have a wonderful day writing away.......................

Love your work dear writer thanks for posting!

It was the picture of your ceramic bird that drew me to this page Suz. So glad I stopped by on my quest for hidden Gems amongst poet's pages. This certainly is one. Your poem is delightful. I don't think of birds when I think of Autumn and Winter as the trees lose their leaves and birds fly to warmer climates, but your Autumn bird is unique and your poem is masterful. Thoroughly enjoyed.

I'm late to the party commenting on your poem Suzanne but I just want to say that it's a beautiful free verse. For me, I sense the bird here represents autumn in all its beauty but is real too. Writing of the highest order. Cheers - Gary

Beauty often ceases to be what it was, once we capture it. I found your poem to be moving.

Hi SuZ! What tender lines not only honoring your friend's gift but expressing your longing for a deeper friendship with this wild bird. Lovely descriptive first verse full of colorful images! I have a hummingbird feeder outside my office window. When it is empty, my little friend scolds me from the top of the birch tree until it is refilled! I so relate to this poem. Thank you for sharing it! Blessings of health and happiness for the new year!

Dear Suzanne thats a beautiful gift and lovely poem youve written too in such a touching manner, i love especially the lines “ Autumn Bird stay here with me and trill the notes to waken spring.” So evocative and soulful how you’ve ended, and also every word woven too is definitely a timeless gift for your friend. Sending you light always. Pleasure reading your work

Ahh!! Lovely ceramic replica of imagination and bird. Your work describing your feelings and its feelings is excellent. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara K

A lovely gift and a beautiful tribute to your friend and the wild birds of Autumn. Thanks for sharing your gift of poetry with us, SuZ. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

What a truly delightful poem this is dear Suz. So lovely. I kept looking at the little bird whilst reading it. What a thoughtful friend to give you such a wonderful gift. So enjoyed this and found it enchanting with the little autumn bird and your hope of friendship with him. I do love our little friends in the garden and this describes the joy that they bring. I especially love the last line. Thank you for sharing. Hugs and smiles :):)

What a beautiful tribute to your friend Suz, I hope this new year brings you good health and happiness. Tom

-- If I could bring you in and teach your wild heart how to stay every secret I hold would tell me why you’ll fly away--simply awesome and a perfect ending. A FAVE for your poem, SuZ.

A lovely write, Suz. Wonderful dedication from something from a dear friend. Wishing you all the happiness in 2024. Charlie

I agree, there is something of kinship between birds and leaves - the way they move and the fragility. ANd also that longing to connect with them.

Ah, neatly and with a spring bow, Suzanne. I had two bird feeders planted on the other side of the house because the little Java Sparrows will tend to the lunch on the unattended patio. They're set-to-rise 12-hour birds. By species, numbers rule, wrens, then doves; cardinals the most colorful is the least, like the doves, too big for the feeders, they peck the ground from droppings. Aloha, William

Gosh, this poem truly touched my heart, dear Suzanne. It's the first one I'm reading today and I feel like floating in its meaningful essence, so beautiful and mesmeric.. The autumnal imagery that you've created whilst describing it in the form of a bird..just wow..So much artistic depth you've used here in the personification of autumn, as a bird.. Also, I really like that picture you've used too! "Autumn Bird stay here with me and trill the notes to waken spring" That's really heartfelt..a Fav
