Bird's Eye-View

  The ostrich hides her head in the sand
    most birds hit the skies as planned

  The woodpecker pecks at some woody-good-wood
    while the hummingbird’s wings hum as they should

  The robin comes out to strut her stuff
     back in she goes, the ground's too tough

  And, O, for a pair of cardinals
     to fly to the edge of the Dardanelles

  Flying creatures inspire and exhilarate, you see
     except when they tinkle all over me

I enjoyed these bird’s perspectives. Very cleverly presented.

Did you never wonder why there are shotguns ;-) Actually, the pleasure I get from watching birds more than compensates for the occasional splat… can’t say I’m sorry that the ostrich can’t fly. A fun one, GW

Just avoid the Pelicans because they are a very large birds who eat a lot of fish. I enjoyed reading your nature work. Very impressive. Thanks for your visits to my page. Sara K

Was thinking it might be good luck. Though maybe at that moment in time it wasn't. Put the lottery on, anyhow.
