The Bird Feeder

Bird feeder hanging On a tall thin pole Its filled with bird seeds Waiting for the birds To flock and feed It does not take long So many birds herd To the bird feeder All eager to eat The delicious seeds As quickly it filled It also empited All the bird seeds Now all went to nap Bird feeder empty

Yes it is really a deep poem, the birds daily come out of their nests with empty stomach and eat all the day and came back with full stomach. Then again morning the food is there for them. There is some one who is feeding them , what I think is God who feed them daily. Have a nice day dear darlene

Hello Roy, we feed the birds all year long. They never go hungry in the winter, we feed them in the cold month of winter. Have a nice day my friend.

Hi Darlene. Great poem. I enjoyed! I love to watch the birds. This time of year, the seed feeders have to be taken down, due to the bear. But, the hummingbird feeders have remained to be ok :)

Hello Heidi, I like the to watch the birds flying to an fro to the bird feeder. Bears eat bird seeds! I thought bears ate berries instead. Have a nice day my friend.

Darlene, your poems have improved immensely. A joy to read. The squirrels around here rob the bird feeders of their sunflower seeds but they are still fun to watch. Well done!

I have four bird feeders myself and enjoy watching the cardinals, sparrows and wild birds have their meal. After their meal, they head for a drink from the fountain near by. Thank you for sharing.
