rock to rock
small sips
red winged blackbird takes
leaning towards the sun,
Iris protects....
seed to seed
small sips
bluegill takes
below the surface,
shadows protect....
bar to bar
small sips
humans take
battered and bruised,
memories protect....
Form:
Two Red Pines outside my
Window stand ready every day
Bristling with long needles
And runkled cones, still young
My first sound upon awakening
…..The sweet seeee---sawww
Of the Red Winged Blackbird,
Migrating home
Soon, the swamp I navigate daily
On my walk will fill with
Feathered friends-
All of us excited by emerging
Cattails….
Comforted, together

a red-winged blackbird
quiescent as a flower
until he's riled up
the breeze of his wings
majestic, dictorial
tourist nudged onward
depressed cone flower
with heaviness of his form
far above the nest
the sentry's hawk-eyes
sharp and alert to movement
in city's garden
meanwhile the gal
shares her snapshot and story
over and over
the beauty and rage
of this handsome specimen
illuminated

The call of the Lark
And the Red-Winged Blackbird
The rustle of grass
Over my left shoulder
And
Before us
The rippling brook
The shimmering trees
And
The depth of you silence
As you
Not far away
Think on other things
This I take back with me
To the noise of the city
the prickly-eyed coneflower bees
attractively buzzing their squeeze.
the purple petal umbrellas.
a lovely echinacea breeze.
butterflies and hummingbirds hove’.*
red-winged blackbird, high perched above,
does shelter in Eden, his brood.
cones teem with life, vivacious love.

*hove’ - hover
It snowed last night
and spring’s nascent shades
were hidden under a sky of lead,
the cedars, green, cloaked
by a blanket of snow white
framed by tree trunks black.
The swollen stream ran brown not clear,
but the dogwood glistened shiny red
and the Red-winged Blackbird
flared his epaulets of scarlet and yellow
and with his conk-la-ree! loudly proclaimed
his territory in hopes of attracting
a frumpy female who yet malingers
in warmer climes.
