Feeding Ground

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                                       Fresh fallen snow 
                                      Covers the ground
                                      Food from feeders
                                     Is scattered around

                                    Cardinals and BlueJays
                                     Have quickly flown in
                                     Walking among them
                                    Are a number of wrens

                                    I watch out my window
                                     As the feeding begins
                                    Snacking and cracking
                                   Always brings me a grin

                                 Many birds and one squirrel
                                   Sampling corn and seeds
                                   Pecking and picking and
                                       Filling their needs

                                     I watch as they feed
                                       It makes my day
                                        Way too soon
                                        They go away

                                    It won't be long though
                                    They will remember me
                                    And fly and scoot back in
                                      For my pleasure to see
                                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So..... You feed birds too. Looks like I have more than poetry in common with you.
