Notes About The Poem

catbird in the aged pear tree

in the 
             
             aged

               pear tree

                                 
                                 which has 
                                 
several 

         dead
  
              gray, peeling

                   limbs

a catbird

   calls to 
   
        his mate     


a nurturing
        
         love affair

                intense, passionate


        
his steadfast 

           love

                for his mate~~

                                  admirable

Bj Legros Kelley May 13, 2025 at 3:39 PM A very cute poem Sara. I love the birds we have visit our trees which are usually usually doves, sparrows and sometimes cardinals. I always put food out for them so we have plenty of visitors :)

CayCay Godwin April 7, 2025 at 11:19 AM ain't it great? Watching, trying to sense them, thinking maybe we do. Your yard sighting? I'm never sure if it's from the internet or not. I enjoyed this, Sara - content and shape ... CayCay Sara Kendrick April 7, 2025 at 12:03 PM CayCay, the picture is from the internet. I have had a catbird family nest here over the years and it will sound just like a cat up in the tree and I will start looking to see if I can find that cat. Thanks for the kind review. Sara K

Valsa George March 29, 2025 at 10:11 PM Nature becomes so lively in your poems, dear Sara. You have so much to say about birds. It seems that so many birds congregate around your house. Beautiful poem. Sara Kendrick March 30, 2025 at 4:53 AM Valsa, I try to put out a little food for them so maybe they will help keep the bugs out of the garden. A mutual friendship plus I just love to see their entertaining ways and beauty. I have had a crow or two to visit this spring and my husband won't like them because they will eat the seeds off the corn and peas as they come through the ground. Thanks for the visit.

Kim Rodrigues March 29, 2025 at 8:11 PM Gets lively amidst the limbs! Sara Kendrick March 30, 2025 at 4:50 AM Yes, Kim. It is always confusing until I figure it out. To start off I will think a cat is up in the tree even though I don't have a cat I still think it. Sara K
