Birds of Passage

Yellow
diamonds,
just stopping by-
wag their tails..onwards
they fly


note yellow wagtails on our garden trees yesterday

I've been feeding the gold finches their favorite thistle seed. They are little patches of sunlight on a cloudy day. I don't know wagtails but thanks for the introduction to them. Thanks for your kind words, Brian. Joyce

I love the fleetingness of the moment you capture in this poem. We need to savor all the rich fleeting moments, like your yellow diamonds, before they fly away. As always, well done. Krista
