Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

To Watch the Birds

To watch the birds is pure delight
While at the feeder or in flight.
They poke and peck to get their seeds,
Providing peace my spirit needs.

Their cheeps and chirps imbue the air 
With melody they’re meant to share
With fellow feathered-friends they greet,
Much like our human type of tweet.

How fortunate I feel that I
Can sit and let the hours go by
While watching birds to pass the time
And twittering my thoughts in rhyme.

Caren Krutsinger September 21, 2021 at 9:43 PM My squirrels have dis-assembled 18 birdfeeders this summer; I am so irritated. They have also taken the bottoms out of the ones that say "squirrel-proof" so the birdseed falls on the ground. GRRRR. I am glad for you though.
