perched on a barren tree limb--

in a morning drowse,

the sunlight warms the bed sheets,

A bluejay flies 
in the skies clear 
my eyes search hard.

all afternoon           
the blue jay calls
flies off and lands again
pushing his lifeless mate
through the dry grass...

Happy nuthatch taps
Drumming his special rhythm
On my dogwood tree
Robin provides melody
Tone deaf bluejay acts annoyed

the jay
a crisp call
seeks the water
drinks fill in one sip drops
bluejay

each day
a crisp call
until today
has he gone away now
blue blue  ...

That Blue Jay made short work
Of that beetle morsel
On the gnarly branch
Sort of like me
When it comes to
A Godiva chocolate

sapphire on sapphire
at the rise of jewelled night
when the stars flash fire

mysterious quest
like the wide-eyed owl spying
as beauty's fading

in the vast deep blue
the scarlet sun is sinking
like a cherry bomb...

No need to worry 
No need to fear
Goodness will find it's way clear
My strength is my weakness
It opens my heart
To those dark places 
Which sets them apart
I bring them Gods light for they are still lost
Kindness my friends.......Has no cost..........

from woodpeckers and sparrows
to starlings and warblers
all get along

at the feeders
but for
the

feathered equivalent of a
sociopath called
a cannibal

the bluejay
that eats
alone

we're like ants always
at war with each
other

He tilts his head
watching me approach,
knowing full well
that he is master 
of the attack on my 
strawberries…no use
fighting about it..he
just waits and hops 
along the fence. I give in
with a certain pleasure, and
do not begrudge him
his share..

I saw a little bird today, it was a Bluejay. 

The little bird was the cuties little thing.

But the bird had a broken wing.  It tried,

and tried to fly, but it had a broken wing.

So, instead of flying the little Bluejay bird,

begin to sing, sing, sing.  Do what you can do.

God Bless, Happy Holidays...

One Bluejay’s Time

A heavy old Bluejay perches on a dead redbud limb,
His black eyes survey what he claims as his own;
Little sparrow subjects wait while he feeds,
He grabs a bite and eats alone.

The winged ones he thinks he has bullied,
Perch, camouflaged and wait,
Wait for years if they must, they are kind,
They will win – it’s the Bluejay’s fate....

a mockingbird sings
mimicking bird melodies ~
comedic chorus

a hummingbird sips
while vibrant feathers flutter ~
a rapid refresh

a hungry bluejay
squawks and shrieks at the feeders ~
blue feathered bully

a cedar waxwing
quickly steals fresh tree berries ~
flying masked bandit

a barred owl whistles
while camouflaged in a tree ~
a prey stalking pursuit

SQUAWK


                      A nuthatch built a twiggy nest

                      A cockatoo showed off her elegant crest

                      A bluejay stole a hummingbird's egg

                      A flamingo sleeps on just one leg

                      A seagull fought for an ocean snail

                      And Daffy Duck pulled Donald Duck's tail!...

Like a wild bouquet--
Lovely on this hot Tuesday;
One park in full bloom--
Smell is like sweet perfume.

With a lazy eaze,
Moving in a gentle breeze,
Seeming eager to dance,
They do so entrance!

There flies bluejay!
A moment that seems so gay.
Hot summer at last here--
Sky is so clear.

Sun floods Cherrystone.
Woodsy place now overgrown.
Wild flowers there ablaze--
Bright, hazy days....

Dramatic skies of blue-gray clouds,
Before the rains that evening shrouds.
Fresh blueberries, forget me nots,
Bracing waves when the weather's hot!

Twilight bluejay, in search of night,
Prancing peacock, vanity's delight!
The earth itself, and also Neptune,
Ripe juicy grapes of morning June.

Great whales within the matching sea,
The melancholy of smaller tragedy,
Hyacinths and plums of sunshine cheer,
And roses fragrant when you are near!...

I buried a bluejay today.
He flew with grace into a window pane.
From my sunroom I watched and heard the Kaplunk.

I buried a bluejay today.
I watched him take his last breaths.
Broken neck aside the rose bush.

I buried a bluejay today.
Along with some vegetables so he could decay.
And blanketed gently with some fresh soil.

I buried a bluejay today.
If I could have saved his life, it would have been my pleasure.
But God works in mysterious ways.

I buried a bluejay today.
