Bob White

Out my window
The brown rusty quail
Sings on the lawn
Looking for a friend
Finding a tasty meal

Beckons and calls the night
Shadows disappear as grey
Becomes darkness
Reminding me of the beauty
Blessings pouring out
To this longing heart

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 6/4/2010 11:13:00 AM This is a lovely poem, Doris, and it personifies the life of the Bob White. Heard many of them growing up in NJ, but never gave them much thought until now. Enjoyed very much! Love, Carolyn Login to Reply

Gert W. Knop Date: 6/4/2010 5:30:00 AM Hi Doris, thank you for your comment today! Yes, we have cuckoos around here and sometimes one could hear them shout even in the city! Yes I know cranes and their calls. I've seen Emus in Austraila and once even a wild peacock in the middle of a road in Sri Lanka when I was on my way to Kandy in a bus... Login to Reply

Gert W. Knop Date: 6/2/2010 6:08:00 AM Very sweet poem, Doris, enjoyed reading it! You described your flower garden so well that I can see the different colours of your Hygrangeas!! I remember when I lived in Scotland (and it is the same in England and Ireland) how nice those flowers looked!!! Wishing you a nice day and thank you for your kind comments...Gert Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/1/2010 8:04:00 PM doris, it is strange how we both spoke of quail tonight. Mine was a haiku, a true story. And I think your sweet one here is true as well. But a happier one! Luv, Andrea Login to Reply
