Mandarin Duck and Blue Jay Rivalry
Mandarina duck was bragging a teensy bit
Blue jay heard of it, and threw a giant fit
She was speaking of her crest as if it was unique
I have a crest also, Bart the blue jay did speak
Mandarina duck preened, showing off her black and white trim.
I have that too, Bart pointed out to a cardinal named

Little Blue Jay
Little Blue Jay, carry me away
To a hammock in the forest shade
In play, away from this gray day
To a bright gay day and fade
Make way so, we can fly un-delayed.
Little Blue Jay, that sweet serenades
Summer ray showers spray.
Carry me away over grass blades
And butterflies in horseplay
Around dandelion's green-way.

I Saw A Blue Jay
what stunning sight you are,
beautiful blue jay!
your wings carry you so far
you called but couldn't stay;
sad seeing you fly away.

Blue Jays
The chirps of blue jays fill my garden,
The colors, grace and flights keep me smitten,
They are not like peacocks of the east or the parrots of amazon,
But who cares, beauty is my inner perception.
The constant food search of birds gives me a good lesion,
Even if you try hard but don’t succeed makes you a winner,

Dreamscape
morn!
lovesick
Blue jay croons,
squirrels scurry
in haste for ever…
boisterous in grey coat.
breathtaking vermilion tinge
painting sky with glistening hue,
intoxicated July dreamscapes
idyllic beauty of glorious day!

Beautiful Blue Jay
He was a beautiful bird with feathers bright white and cobalt blue
He happily chirped his songs while perched at the feeders every day
Often spotted high in the oak tree, squawking until his new day debut
When he appeared all the other birds became quiet and often flew
He wanted to be king of the feeders, aggressively pushed

Blue Jay Warrior
Blue Jay Warrior knew this tile roof would be slick
He has a wise brain, he is in no way ignorant or thick.
He argued with the team, but they won thanks to his brother.
A favorite in the gang, and with his father and mother.
Blue Jay Warrior was losing his grip on these tile fast.
He knew in

Blue Jay
perched on a high tree
a blue jay lookout screeches ~
swift bristling of crests
[when blue jays feed in peace, their crests are lowered, but
become raised when danger is sensed.]

Bright Blue Jay
Late Fall days are dark, grey, cold and dismal
Until a flash of bright blue wings adds some warmth
Fall winds blow wet leaves with colors now muted
Grounds are covered in damp camouflaged blankets
Sunlight is scarce and hiding behind smoky clouds
Mornings feel crisp, frosty tips envelope late blooms
Dawn is quiet, scavengers hibernate and sleep
Until a loud squawk

Orange Cat and Blue Jay
On a bright sunny day
All the animals come out to play
The mischievous orange cat
And the majestic blue jay
Could they ever become friends
Well they just may
The fluffy orange cat circles around the tree
While the scared little blue jay tries to hide so the cat can't see
The playful orange cat begins The climb
And the curious blue jay

The Much-Maligned Blue Jay
The blue jay is a handsome bird
though that is oft the one nice word
you'll read about this robber of other
birds' nests ~ this handsome pest
You're a beacon of color on a bleak winter's day
despite what we read about 'amoral ways'
So here's to you, Mr. Jay, you liven up
