Her fresh wakened sleep filled voice
Talked to me before she was quite awake

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

Guarding your evey move
Trying to protect you
From every cat that's got groove...

Whence sonnets are sung, full-throated and deep,
     and fresh bars of sweet bliss are echoing;
though happily sung poems can make thee weep
     within thine innermost and inward being?

What such work of art can genius then inspire,

The black-throated blue warbler is wee and cute,
But to a caterpillar he is a brute.
With a sweet melody, he attracts his mate,
And they eat spiders when they go on a date....

Could that ruby throated hummingbird be God?
Fanning smiles-igniting sighs in brief thimbles of time...
To help temper the graying emptiness of our swirling lives.
Then just as quickly as they arrive, they flit away with our sighs.
There's nothing left but twin pits of black and blue regret.

Always...
