Tania Kitchin Poet Jueju

Autumn Feathers

Feathers amongst fallen leaves
Spring plumage drops from the sky
Blue Jays in cobalt feathers
Proudly perched near drab fall hues

Goldfinches in olive green
Camouflaged on sparse branches
Raptors hungry and hunting
Autumn feathers masked from sight

Cardinals perched on red fronds
Their mates near singing away
Crisp crimson and yellow leaves
Now blanket sparse sleepy wood

Hidden owls hoot in the dark
Their nightly quest soon begins
In dark brown feathers they soar
Hoping to find their night prize

Lin Lane October 6, 2024 at 1:05 PM Tania, this is keenly written by interspersing leaves and feathers. I've never thought of them as both falling, but it works perfectly in your poem. Tania Kitchin October 6, 2024 at 1:13 PM Lin, thank you. Hugs
