Protesting Little Birds
After the snow and the thaw set in, the bigger birds banished all the little ones to the 
higher branches of the trees as they fed on nuts and seeds. Big bullies lol!

melting morning

wagtails protest from above

as crows swoop to feast...

Premium Member Little Girl In Pigtails
Sparkling little star, So much you warm my heart, A little girl in pigtails Made of sugar and spice, But enticed with snails and mice And puppy-dog wagtails When you sing you bring happiness to my heart So sweet you are my brightest little star By: Eve Roper 8/28/2015

The Waterfall Becomes a Stream
The waterfall splashes,
gushing from a
mossy hill that
drops small rocks;
it doesn't dribble
as on winter
days seeping into
grass that's dry.
Soon the waterfall
becomes a stream,
where ravens rest
to sip its water 
on the hottest
day of summer...
while wagtails and
hummingbirds take a
dip to wash off
pesky bugs clinging.
Trickle, lively stream...
let me hear
your sounds and 
compose a melody....

Juffair
The Wagtails gathered before sunset,
Dancing their olive steps
Around treetops,
And chatting like teenagers
At an auditorium.
 
The sky, dreaming
Of dusk at its sapphire edge
Played with the palm trees
That spread-eagled
Lazily In shadows, 

Whilst I followed a
Sandy road
Towards the sea,
Amongst the swirling dust
Of a saffron breeze;

A silent contemplation
Over ruby red wine
And arterial bursts
Of magnificent memories....

Wagtails
Mid morning in the now leafy white poplar, tall and symmetrical,

four flashing light and dark magnificent magpies tea leaf, steal the 

mannerisms of tinier wagtails by moving their tails up and down dancing 

around from branch to branch leading following each other and chattering 

away as though they have nothing else to do all day, for on this lovely day  

their instincts start to do what all other young adult creatures do in Spring....
