Drink in a placid basin:

Heading South, and returning
They stop to eat here...

Blistering hot day,
When migrating birds,
Stopping by your lawn and
Taking a quick shower or
Just soaking their feathers...

Embracing Autumn  
Shorter days bring longer nights
Cooler weather now
Seasonal migrating flocks
The sky fills with giant V's...

Elitist school hovering;
     Hummingbird-like wind laden migrating.
     Evening mess hall dining;
     Past the locked gate....

once a good fellow named peas

jumped over rather tall trees

but soon became sick

trying to mimic

flights of some migrating geese....

I worry –
birds peck in the lawn
with poisoned seed

cghjr  jan 2013
I try to do this when the
birds are not migrating. 
Unusual weather maybe?...

My thoughts were of migrating birds
That nests these local shores
Foraging the marsh's best yet only till
The summer's dawn.

‘Twas love you nested on this heart
Until you had to leave....

they came searching for me
integrating the essence of
tightly packed out bursts
in a rolled canvass
promoting the sweetness of mouth
pasted on the empty walls of
your migrating wants...

a goose and a gander
wandering together
wondering whatever

maybe Paris or
Rome for a home
away from home

for a while
for a season
not a reason

migrating 
eliminates
destinations

and thinking
not Canada 
again...

fox 
                    quick, sly 
  hunting, mystifying, chasing 
    silver, wild dog, duck, fowl 
plucking, swimming, migrating 
            web-footed, tame 
                       goose

autumn's palette
dawning morning
fight
ride golden sun rays'
flaxen horizon
heaven bound

migrating birds
V formation
tranquil redolence
fragrance
dance among tender
watercolor jewels
as their voices
    echo

bitten lips swollen tongue
remnants of a love
swallowed sap
drunkenness of lust
miraculous moist moments
rounded hips
rustling of autum leaves
migrating birds
tense and turgid
coupling of hope and faith
singing water of love...

High
above
rich wetland
a lone kestrel .

Patient death beating,
fixed in  measureless blue.

Elegant white swans swim through
rare grasses greeting migrating
geese sliding in with the setting sun.

Darkness falls, who will sing the requiem?...

I can migrate
with the birds
lift my wings
and soar
to calmer plains
to reach
a different
climate of warmth
for seasons
with you change
spend a cold
winter alone
and starving
I will return
in the spring
hoping you
have frost bite...

MIGRATING

Juana and I sit on the fence,
swing our legs,
throw seeds for birds,
check nests for eggs.

Juana,
like the migrating bird
that traveled mile upon mile,
is here now too,
but I hope she stays longer
than the bird that flew....

An overflow,
A stir,
A sensation,
A movement,
A dance,
Butterflies at will,
Migrating,
A hummingbird’s wings flutter,
A swift hand reaches in and through,
Oceans fury crashes itself,
Onto the sift of the bed,
Hearts collide,
Souls collide,
An everlasting feeling....

Crimson twilight, stained glass sunsets bled
Frost tipped flowers of summers fled
Migrating flocks, southwards led
Gatherings to break bread
Chrysanthemum spread
Autumnal bed
Overhead
Wind sped
Red

Autumn bequeaths 
chestnut dappled 
ethereal forests 
graciously hued in
jeweled kaleidoscope leaves
migrating north on 
primeval quiet 
river snow
tapering under 
violet winter's
xeroxed yielding zenith.
