Birds and Bradford Pears

Bradford pear colored with burgundy Standing in my neighbor's yard You're full fluffy hair offers a dandy Hideaway, for all the birds in this bard I know that I saw a Robin Nibbling on one of you're pears He was a great dancer, bobbin Eating all your delicious fare Then the magical Blue Bird Who loves a small hollow post To nest, decided that he pears preferred That the burgundy a great host That old Red-Headed Woodpecker bopped Pecking on your tender delicious bark Seeing him destroy you, I wanted to say stop But he kept on until way past dark

Another excellent portrait of the beautiful Bradford Pear, one of my very favorite trees (especially when it's filled with birds!) ~Juliane

God made the birds and provided for them ... even by the industry of our hand. A great observatory write, delineating excellently the poet's skill of perception.

Those Bradford Pear trees grow so quickly and provide both beautiful white blossoms in early spring as well as much holiday color in late fall. Here in North Florida, there are many and they are one of the few sources of fall and winter color. A beautiul ode to the great burgundy "host" for woodpeckers and other birds!! Wonderful poem, Sara! Love, Carolyn
