sprightly songbird
“The sound of birds stops the noise in my mind.”
— quote by Carly Simon
----------------------------------------------------
I see pair of red-whiskered bulbuls
with wrong-end rouge, spikes, eloquent note
gurgling - spinning love, singing the loop,
billing, bowing, chattering. I swoon

Songbird Rise
Songbird Rise
~
Dawn's chorus
flickering fire of life
burning endless embers
song birds sing at the coming of light
Perched peaceful
in heights lovely gaze
high above
orange pastel flows from the distant range
Spiritual chants
spill in loving song
birthing the new day
as the subtle breeze tumbles on

Songbird
Lirena was a songbird born of yore
Who dearly loved her husband everyday;
She sings her songs of contentment no more.
An adversary’s troops ransacked the shore,
A ruthless marauding they did display;
Lirena was a songbird born of yore.
Her loving husband whom she did adore
Abducted mercilessly from the fray;
She sings her songs of victory no more.
She trailed the captor’s

The Songbird Of Spring
One sunny morning sweet small Sue sees sitting up,
in a sapling a songbird is seated on silky flower cup.
It’s a scarlet vested slim and shy swirling Robin,
she sighs sad, “so long your show I haven’t seen”.
“Skipping winter snow I soar, my swift wings I spin”,
small Robin sings, “for you scenic spring sends me in”.
At

songbird
Droplets fall at the existence of my anxiety
Around every corner I’m drowning
A new wave crashing over me
I feel the warmth of a gentle hand
“Its ok my little songbird”
I feel the anger taking over me
Flashing of rage that have control of me
I hit the wall but it hits back
Blood and tears trickle as I

Moon and Cows
I see you through the purple flowers.
Heart churning in your chest.
Sitting cross legged, pumped with powers.
Crowning chastity through your crest.
Wildflowers hear your song, for it is their song too.
The bumblebee lies atop your head, buzzing with the tune.
Cows grazing in the field below begin to sway and moo.
Red and orange

Sing A New Song
Psalms 96:1 (KJV) “O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.”
Seas of twittering,
Tweets, gentle as noon,
Melodious uprising from the nest.
Colors like wildfire, glowing hues,
Erasing the morning mist,
Seas of twittering.
Songbirds risking twilight,
Before fireflies reveal the music,
Tweets, gentle as noon.
Listening, songs climb
Into the morning skies,
Melodious uprising from the nest.

Songbird
It is early morning, and it is quiet, too quiet.
The rambunctious bird won't even utter a chirp.
Once resoundingly loud, her voice like a siren,
Now you're lucky to find her softly humming at all.
Once seeking passion, the bird now searches for silence,
In hopes, the trees and leaves will drown out her absence of sound.
A false hummingbird,

Lonely Songbird
My volatile mind wandered in the terrain of trance,
drifted in the draft of reverie on its latticed wings,
a lonely bird floated in the sunburst recess of sky,
made the fascinating fresco of formless fantasy.
Captive in the suffocating cage of sordid craving,
I broke the bars in dormant dream to be free,
flew beguiled in

Jews Harp Twang
there is something about
the simplistic shape of a conundrum
an ancient voice in modern mouth
in cartloads for the few to quell
where ice finding comfort in flames
many a throat bending breath
singing like electric birds of paradise
fully charged and chirping
hum and twang and cooing purr
songbirds, my blackened raven
thaw from towers, steel beauty, caw
across tropics, canopies and

Carolina Wren
I love the birds that make their home in Florida…
The woodpeckers, doves and cardinals who live just beyond our front door…
The pelicans, herons and spoonbills we see on our walks along the shore.
And when we get to Florida…it does’t matter when….
I love how we are greeted every morning…by the Carolina wren.
The Carolina wren is a
