Long Robin redbreast Poems

Coming To The Garden

Long-lost secrets at Misselthwaite Manor.
Mistress Mary moves from self-centeredness to
self-awareness, leading to self-healing.
This tale's secret seems simple but not so.
A space to sense one's spiritual serenity,
children seek silence in a stillness place...

“Arms Full of Linnet Wings”

In the garden 
that afternoon 
she planted seeds
in their ripe minds
their eyes looking
up to hers their 
irises dazzling 
in the late afternoon
sunshine wide open
as if waiting hungrily 
for more food 
she...

luckily for our ambiguous plot structure
and the stern requirements of partisan doggerel
the ringing coin toss bounced then came up tails
and fortune directed that the box be opened
gingerly gripped in two slender shaking hands
by Pepper d'Angelo...

It is all my fault, for I am in command,
We sped into space with aspirations grand.

As we neared lightspeed, we saw pulsars,
And twinkling stars, deep space memoirs.

The cosmic sights were dazzlingly unreal-
Red giants and colorful...

When I was just a young girl, long ago,
     for me, the grand debut of spring became
my special mission in the month of March-
     to see a...

Angel has fallen from the top of the tree
Broken baubles lay strewn by the door
Christmas chaos caused by the cat
Damaged branches and lights on the floor!
Eager hands clear up the mess
For today we should rejoice
Glorious...

Big ripe Mcintosh apples found lying on the ground
Release sweet juiciness when their finders take a bite.
Ibises of scarlet stand elsewhere in the world without a sound
Gathered underneath a crimson sky awaiting night.
Hovering near bushes...

I hear the chirruping of birds.
It emerges from vast hidden spaces
from wherever the birds may be.
Their twittering sounds are scattered,
interspersed with cricket sounds
and the intermittent whimpers of a lonely pup
that seems to be a distance...

HOW TO ADVOID THE WINTER BLUES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~


a glorious sunny winters day!
so baltic cold indoors I stay.
on my south facing living room wall
a lively midday Chrismas ball
shadows dancing in the sun,
my ivy leaves all having fun.

I stand by -
the clouds are not for my eyes.
The fog,
a light feather
that tickles the air I breathe.
I stand close
to the dew, the dawn consumes.
Oh Robin redbreast -
your passionate diffuse on high!
I stand apart,
a sentinel...

I’m out of mind and sound is dawn’s delight.
A trip, I take, around huddle of trees.
The splice of pink and purple cane is sweet.

With warbling voice, blackcap chorus excite.
Break of lull’by, and brightly colored breeze.
I’m...

“Robin Redbreast in a cage,”
So sweet this line from a bygone age!
 But now ‘tis not the heavens that rage;
‘tis Raging Ram who now holds stage.
 Raging Ram, who’s that? you ask.
 The truth to...

No season's as loved as Spring;
though Autumn's a close second.
Spring begins with warm winds melting the snow,
a bright golden sun shining in blue skies,
and an earthy fragrance greeting each breath.
Icicles fast melt away,
disappearing drip by...

A bird settles lightly on the bough
Red breast proud and challenging:
Look at me, I am here. I obey, strangely
Perturbed; a hoped for moment yet,
Once arrived, disturbing, full of portents,
Messages I cannot understand.

The Robin sits lightly...

Upon a silver slate sky
of alabaster and aquamarine,
floats a formidable flotilla
of charcoal-colored clouds.
And on this mild, melancholy
mid-March day
they dawdle, dribbling drops of rain
in sporadic Spring showers.
Winter's white wonderland,
seasonally salted with brindled blotches,
magically melts away,
revealing rough-woven,...

Stop playing victim! The blood is dried!
Robin Redbreast sees only red

Dull red dried, not my blood-alive
Robin Redbreast sees only red

“Look how I've bled! Such blood has been shed!”
You're feathers are red Robin Redbreast

10 years healed...

Starring through my kitchen window...
An eerie blanket of grey skies chills my bones
A background of barren trees sway gently
'Neath the newly yellowed forsythia bush a soft voice speaks to me
 
"Tweet, tweet" it spoke

Robin Redbreast.

When I see the Robin Redbreast sit upon my windowsill
I think of when the snow falls and everywhere seems still.
Pretty as a picture as the gardens dressed in white
there seems to be a peace...

No more flocks of sparrows
Covering my grass with brown
Very few song thrushes flying
Or bashing snails on the ground
I have seen a Robin redbreast
And a solitary little Wren
But I don’t think I’ll ever see
So many wild...

Yesterday, on the first warm day of Spring,
I heard a robin redbreast sweetly sing.
And it was a melody on the wing,
a beautiful, magical sort of thing.

Although Winter's hold continues to cling,
its effects are slowly on...

At last the summer’s here, I think for good!
And winter’s snow can stay where it belongs -
atop the mountains! In my neighborhood,
each night I hear our newest neighbors’ songs.

The birds that have been settling in...

The warm breath of Spring entered my dream as a lilac-scented breeze. And I awoke to a world of green, resurrected by a splendiferous sun. Color was skillfully applied to the scene as daffodils, crocuses,...
