There's an eerie feel to the air A sign of impending storm All is quieter, still, Until the birds' row begin to form The bird's row on the garden fence Wanting their turn to feed Of those seeds, which magically appear. The poet's bi-weekly good deed Species of all types come by Some fight to get a share Brown-headed cowbird, doves Cardinals, house finches eat the fare. One Dove dives behind the fence post Hidden away from his mate. She chases him out into view Seems little food his fate. Then all is still again out there. As I look through a dirty pane, I wonder how I'll survive When life is so uncertain again. Then a brown thrasher flies in He is eating from my seed. I think how lovely he is I'm thankful I can give him feed

Thank you, Kim. I do enjoy seeing them at the bird feeders and at the flowers that I have had in the past out in my yard and garden. Your visit is empowering. Sara K
