Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

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

Juliane Thomas December 9, 2009 at 6:27 AM Another excellent portrait of the beautiful Bradford Pear, one of my very favorite trees (especially when it's filled with birds!) ~Juliane

L'Nass Shango December 7, 2009 at 6:56 AM 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.

Carolyn Devonshire December 5, 2009 at 11:45 AM 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
