Are among the top voter squawks
There's no solution
To noise pollution
But your Congressman says money talks!...

I'm sure the seagull on the post
in my garden
was feeling
Feeling good
His awkward tilts from left to right
his bobbing squawks
catching the beat
just too well...

As Joe the canary his wings flex
He stretches tall and proud
Squawks and shrieks really loud
At the Seagull who has huge, huge pecs  ...

feathered winged bird
hooting flying down action
see's a mouse outreaches his claws
who's that he squawks and calls

Now it has become a bird which squawks
Going by name of Seattle Seahawks
Of not only of the whole North West
But also rest of country is the best.

eveningtide dour 
 sarcastic squirrel does runs 
beyond his own tree

twilight grounds runner
 this young nutling squawks talking 
 he's above me hides

I lie awake; I have become
like a bird alone on a roof.
                              Psalm 102:7 Bible NIV

NIGHT RAVEN

squawks; silence deaf’ning
the sphere sleeps as he fears - blinding
rain rivets tin roof

The pursuit


Three blackbirds
Are chasing a young seagull
In circles, they fly
Until the gull
Find an opening
It flies
Toward the ocean.
The blackbirds
Cannot 
Following the gull
There.
They return
Sit in a tree
And squawks 
Among
Themselves...

bird
watching
a couple
embracing life
in the magick of love and their closeness

wonders why they're not paying attention
to his flustered 
squawks and stomps
because
he

is 
alone
and not with
his own true love
he is a pigeon on a soul mission...

a lone goldfinch sings
chirping away before dawn~
sunny melody

outside my window
a robin sings to the finch~
morning serenade

a blue jay squawks loud
waking up the neighborhood~
cat clowder begins

Blue and gold Macaw,
bright butterscotch belly    up,
kicks and squawks excitedly
beneath human hands
which give playful tummy rubs!

(I saw a video of this friendly smart
bird enjoying a rubdown from his owner!)

night sounds awaken
as eerily shrills echo~
ominous mantra

plumed wings cast shadows
reflecting in the moonlight~
twilight prey tango

birds hidden in nests
quietly guarding fledglings ~
nocturnal mission

a night heron squawks
while motionless in the marsh~
still fishing pursuit

Sparrow

“You are just a sparrow Honey Chile “
“I’m not” she said to him
“You sort of sometimes drive me wild”
She said “it is no sin”
“So shut up Chook I’m gonna talk”
He clamps her beak so thin
She squeaks an something, squawks
And then  she does him in

Quick and swift, dash away
  quilling crown, so flashy
    quite a bird, moves in flocks
      quirky squawks when fleeing
         quest to kill, tasty meal
            quoth the hunter, who waits
              quaint portraits show the prize.

Listen to poem:

all gathered in flocks
with raucous loud squawks
poised pink-grey Gallahs leap up
smashing the dawn hush
in a scramble rush
to broadcast their rude heads-up

they swoop and chatter
all sundry scatter
as nonchalantly engrossed
uncaring rabble
disturbs the babble
of self-righteous flock utmost...

I hear bird like voices in his kitchen.
Imagine gulls nesting on counter-tops.

He's gone to Wisconsin
for the ice-fishing
but his radio plays on.

Sounds are snowing in his apartment,
melting ice puddles slosh.

Today, fish-bubbles surface
on frosted windows.

The radio paddles around -
squawks on....

ephemeral fog
night as cold as witches' breath
lone crow squawks goodnight
(settles on tree branch)

a candle flickers
starlight glows behind thin clouds
city goes to sleep
(earth curdles in mist)

sky sullen and gray
salt tears my crystallized thoughts
bird pecks at my pain
(rain pellets  my dreams)...

a squirrel climbs the tree
squeaks,squeals, chee chee squawks at me
has a nut in mouth

apparent he's not sharing
he's just chirping chattering 
giving me the eye

chee chee chee chee chee
gnawing at the nut in mouth
this squirrel in a tree

chee chee laughs at me
while in his little paw paws
nibbles still on nut...

Birth

                             Baby boy
                        It walks and talks
                  Never screams or squawks
                        It smiles and coos 
                         Makes firm poos
                           Sleeps well ~
