My parents called them love birds and loved to watch them raise their young..Sara
Once again out to the chilled air
      For my ten minutes rest
Coming out the door a prayer
      From my lips a request

To the porch so many times
     Before, but now Bue Bird
Flew across the yard climbs
    High, as the cold air stirred

Beneath his lovely strong blue wings.
    Then I spied the reason 
For his flight's fast and upward swing.
     Bird house gone; last season

It fell from its place in the shade.
     It had been placed there long
Ago, parents watched as birds played
     And listened to their song.

My prayer request has rested.
     New prayer now on lips
Let me find way uncontested
     House that Blue Birds worships.

     
In honor of Brian Strand

I like that title for this piece: Chilled Air. The poor blue bird! I always enjoy your "slice of life" poems, SAra. I would sure feel bad if this happened to MY bird house(I don't have a bird house but if I did,I'd love to watch the visitors!!)
