Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Monorhyme

Flush With Thrush

So it is my theory
there is nothing more cheery;
that first vision bleary,
that first feathered dearie...

Ooh, look!     One so leery...
It's a precious little Veery!


Mind the birder standing teary;
She's just shedding winter dreary.

Maurice Rigoler March 20, 2018 at 8:30 PM Many birds I cannot identify are chirping in early morning, a great sign that spring has arrived. But as of yet not a robin? Thanks for reading my take on Robert Frost, a favorite poet of mine. Best to you. / M Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 20, 2018 at 9:39 PM I'm rusty at identifying birds by sound come spring, so silent so long. Robert Frost is amazing. Thank you for visiting! Take care xomo

Silent One March 20, 2018 at 6:32 AM Now that title is misleading, naughty! Lol. There are a number of birds in my garden, but also a silent nightingale who refuses to sing until the sun comes out... Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 20, 2018 at 12:04 PM Yeah, I couldn't resist that one ;) the locals are stirring but the migrants aren't here yet... soon to be exciting time for me. Cheers dear! xomo
