Best Birds Of A Feather Poems
Birds of a FeatherAt night the Whip-Poor-Will sings
A frantic lover's tune Whip-Poor-Will Whip-Poor-Wil
At dawn the Dove's coo coo _soft peace surely brings
Then the Roosters in their chorus appeal
Singing a tune that is slightly shrill
As the gray clouds amass like sand 'pon the beach
Birds sing unrehearsed a tune destined...

Birds of a FeatherIt's human nature to emulate surroundings
And it's hard to separate yourself
From those around you
Emotions are contagious
And like minds act alike
Stand in a group of happy people,
And you'll find yourself smiling.
Stand in a group of excited people,
And find yourself...

Birds of a FeatherOpposites may hold attraction
But lack lasting satisfaction.
Frequently push comes to shove.
In comes hate and out goes love.
Animals in fights and fleeings
Still are mostly social beings.
In a pinch, at end of tether,
Birds of a feather flock together.
Multitudes of furry creatures
Seem alike in lots of features.
Yet that’s...

Birds of a FeatherBIRDS OF A FEATHER
We The poets, and songsters,
with pure hearts; Revolutionaries,
whom have lived and died for truth
will sit among us there.
Birds of a feather flock together;
Red ants go where red ants go.
Giraffes don't hang with the water Buffalo.
When you die, there will be...

Birds of a FeatherI am watching the flights of birds these days,
following their loops and seeing them turn
as one in ways that totally amaze.
Such unity! Something that we can learn?
Perhaps in the brain, some cellular link?
Who leads the way, who follows in a flock
of many is an answer...

looking out for each other's back.

Birds of a FeatherSpring Equinox has come at last
As morning dawns from winter’s night
New dreams revealed from seasons past
Soft petals open to the light
As morning dawns from winter’s night
Awareness drawn from dreamers keep
Soft petals open to the light
Evoking visions from the deep
Awareness drawn from dreamer’s keep
A guiding light...

Its ravages will sicken.
Doves, to some, are signs of peace;
To some, they taste like chicken....

Light Verse
Birds of a Feather
Your
flight
lit
trees like lampblack ocean petals
patterns
ripping trapping
Me
this petrified me
he said
and you agreed
Lights
winged torches in the terracotta foothills like
like some seas paddled
like arc eyes
peepers
spilling downy scales
You are asphalt
he said
and you laughed
not with him at him
You are a turkey
you said
treading
darkly
and smiling his frog smile
Birds of a
feather

Birds of a FeatherThe twisting reach of my arm
stuck in the sleeve
shaking like a finch flustering in the marble basin
as if in slow motion
startled the place into a swift, shifting mess of feathers
that were flocked and gathered at the water's cemented edge, cracking
waiting for...

Birds of a Feather Bind TogetherThrough telepathy
We mingle
With each other in empathy
Though single
In status and name
Society derides
Arguing we carry blame for the lame name
Detractor X rides
On interaction thrown
Into denigrating debate
To malice grown
Venomous of late
In a conundrum
With neither head nor face
That beats a war drum
Beaten aloud on the surface
Where ripples wander
Agog...
