Best Ornithologist Poems

This is a poem I wrote last year for my grand children....one loves bird...future ornithologist, maybe?

Owls belong to one of two different families or classes,
Even though there are more than 216 types in their masses,
The barn owl - 18 different ones, are in one class...

It is perhaps the hurried way I walk,
May be the manner in which I talk,
Or is it the subtle perfume I wear,
That tells a Gynaecologist is near! 

When I park my car, head up stairs,
I see patients sat on waiting chairs,
Smiling women with a hope...

it is was on my morning stroll 
i first noticed that common
white house dress, pearl buttons
busy in her garden
sauntering on, a most common sight
on subsequent passings 
my evaluations were she was
not of any particular beauty 
yet, there was a numen
behind that simple picket fence
one that...

This passionate, keen Ornithologist, 
Is an interest, I profoundly pursue. 
With the upmost of dedication, 
To Black Tern & Long Billed Curlew. 
 
Never a Twitcher, or just an obsession, 
Binoculars on hand to observe.

Come into focus on...

The nun sees telephone poles as rows of crucifixes
Counting on a rosary, her habit, on her morning stroll
Construction worker looks down at his feet
Not in prayer, on the same thoroughfare	
Sees concrete he poured there weeks ago 
And not much more
Municipal worker observes wires and traffic...

Couched in the
     concept of a well,
     (which supplied the water
     for faded glory of "Glen Elm),"
     my boyhood abode,
another metaphorical attempt

The White-throated Needletail

The white-throated needletail
(World’s fastest bird)
Was recently spotted
And quick spread the word
Only eight other sightings
In one seventy years
On the Isle of Harris
The bird watcher hears
And so ornithologist
From near and from far
Gathered in June
To observe this bird star
They were not disappointed
As the bird soon flashed...

Their heritage dates back fifteen million years as evidenced...

studied every bird in town.

catalogued each tweeting thing on EARTH.
Quickly and thoroughly he dispatched
all those creatures that ever hatched. 
There's only one he didn't tackle.
I'm afraid that was the grackle.

Birds are natural singer
They sang with their hearts
They are one of amazing
Beautiful creations of God
l would listen forever fascinating 
Nature the songs of the birds
You immediately imagine jungle
If you hear birds singing
Every bird has its own songs
They have rare sizes and colors
Some are nocturnal some...

Oy vey iz mir, one day in the life of a common house broken schmeckle...,

who did pötschke
and squander many an opportunity
to become a mensch
instead he became persona non grata
condemned to a history of misery,
not unlike Doctor Hyde and Mister Jekyll,
where friends, Romans countrymen did heckle.

We are accustomed to a variety birds who, after we fill our feeders, find a way
to fly up, perch a while and have a snack or two every day.

It’s usually the same birds each day with quiet smiles we greet 
but recently a Rose-breasted grosbeak...
