Andrea Dietrich Poet Etheree

Busy Neighbors

Two
birds - sleek
ebony,
with tinge of blue,
undersides of red
and dotted tails - dart when
I step out of my back door.
Circling overhead, they soar.  I’d
like a closer look at them, to find
their nest. . .but  just can’t catch that pair at rest!

John Watt November 11, 2020 at 10:08 PM I guess you have deduced by now that I have started your book "For the Love of Etheree" and have been visiting some of your lovely examples of this art form. I even was inspired enough to write one of my own. Hoping to post it soon. Take care, my friend.

Milton Toran July 31, 2013 at 10:05 PM I feel the same way about two little cardinals I see in my back yard every day. Every time I try to get a closer look, off they fly away!...Milt

Laura Breidenthal July 19, 2013 at 8:30 PM Sweet! Really painted a picture. So protective they are to their young. Very cute. Always, Laura

Daver Austin July 19, 2013 at 9:48 AM This brings to mind the daring, swooping blue jays that feast in our backyard. Because of all the stray cats few birds will dare visit, but the jays and cardinals are brave. Love, daver

Wilma Neels July 19, 2013 at 7:13 AM Andrea, they are making me tired too.. Just reading your gem I can actually visualize their activities. :) love Wilma

Jack Jordan July 18, 2013 at 1:16 PM wonderful imagery. I can see those birds clearly. I may be inventing this, but I like it that the form of this poem is the opposite of the previous one... Jack

S.Jagathsimhan Nair July 17, 2013 at 7:35 PM Those birds are probably poets, Andea, lol,.. and yes, must-see became see-must for the sake of silly rhyme. Me loving intrigue? never... but that guy is great.. I am fine, thanks, and how about you?, love!!

Robert Johnson July 17, 2013 at 4:40 PM It's strange to think of them as neighbors. But that's exactly what they are. Having such appreciation for our neighbors. What a wonderful thought. Gladys Cravitz was a little toooo busy. :)

Barbara Gorelick July 16, 2013 at 9:26 PM Nice, any idea what they are? I am a bird lover..hope all is well...BG Andrea Dietrich July 17, 2013 at 12:04 AM i believe they were barn swallows when I finally found a picture online that resembled them. I am sad they did not come back this year.
