Four Swifts

Four Swifts
Live up to their name
As they dart and sail
On the late summer breeze

There's a delight 
In knowing I'm the only one
Who watches them
Up here, on my balcony

Here they come again
My binoculars cannot catch them
They are better enjoyed
In full panoramic view

Wow! Awesome write, Corinne. Too bad you are the only one who sees them in flight. And witnessing them in "full panoramic view" must be absolutely amazing. Beautifully penned! Love, Carolyn

Love those kind of birds. We have purple martins swallows, mud dobbing swallows here. Nicely written poem. Keep writing. Sara
