Premium Member Justice for the Birds
A crow, a raven, a grackle, birds so dark, were apprehended in the park. They stood in a line-up. They were caught. Which was the grackle? Which was not? Locked up, they were - a bad assumption. What they need is not redemption. They just need another trial, A guilty snow-white dove, meanwhile, sits in the...

Pray For the Birds
Pray for the birds, Racing to survive the harshness of mother nature, All in a desperate fight, Yielding to relish the essence of life, Forging emaciate energy, Oh survival is hard, Radically hard with time, Time withers, Hath time not withered? Effortless it hath, Bring thy hands together and pray for the birds, I rest not,thou rest not and pray for the birds, Racing to survive the...

When someone says something off the wall We say, “That’s for the birds,” but I wonder, Do birds have an affinity for the ridiculous This is something we might carefully ponder. And who came up with “as the crow flies,” As though they go the straightest distance Between two points, and not the tiny sparrow Which probably lollygags along, for instance. Do birds...

For the Birds

The roof; shaped like a Black Forrest cuckoo clock now resembles Dracula’s castle. The birds will not come to it. They ignore it, perhaps fear it. I like it. The birds can eat and crap somewhere else....
