Whence Are Sonnets Sung, Full-Throated and Deep
Whence are sonnets sung, full-throated and deep,
with bars of dulcet bliss sweetly echoing;
how inspired rhymes, so happily tuned, make thee weep
within thine innermost, and lofty, being?
Such work of genius the divine inspires,
so purely expressed are those lines profound,
that through the

Dan's Favorite Birds - 3 of 10 - Black-throated Blue Warbler
The black-throated blue warbler is wee and cute,
But to a caterpillar he is a brute.
With a sweet melody, he attracts his mate,
And they eat spiders when they go on a date.

When Songs of Joy Are Sung, Deep and Full-Throated
When songs of joy are sung, deep and full-throated,
Gay lines of cheer blissfully oft' may spring;
but songs sung happily hide a secret coded
within a bard's concealed, inward being.
What hidden germ can masquerade as his art?
When the mind envisions poetry, profound
phrases

Rainbow Throated Hummingbird
Obviously male, I strut my stuff and make my song of Key Key Key.
I am the captain of this branch in the banks of this bamboo tree.
My relatives are from Costa Rica, and are as aggressive as paprika.
Except the looney ones from Argentina, who dance the Macarena.
Wait! That’s a lie, but we do have cousins

Ruby Throated God
Could that ruby throated hummingbird be God?
Fanning smiles-igniting sighs in brief thimbles of time...
To help temper the graying emptiness of our swirling lives.
Then just as quickly as they arrive, they flit away with our sighs.
There's nothing left but twin pits of black and blue regret.
Always testing our hobbled faith -day upon day upon...day.
Praying with

The White-Throated Needletail
The White-throated Needletail
The white-throated needletail
(World’s fastest bird)
Was recently spotted
And quick spread the word
Only eight other sightings
In one seventy years
On the Isle of Harris
The bird watcher hears
And so ornithologist
From near and from far
Gathered in June
To observe this bird star
They were not disappointed
As the bird soon flashed by
Straight as an arrow
Straight cross the sky
Straight into the blades
Of

Clear Throated Bells
I talked to her late last night
Her fresh wakened sleep filled voice
Talked to me before she was quite awake
It stumbled over itself saying things
She wasn't aware . didn't think she knew
Her hello's, lilting shadows flitting
across the moon lit room
Cheerful heart gladdening words
I love to hear, she talks
Matters not what
Family, working hours, children
She talks of things

Ruby Throated Hummer
Tiny little Ruby Throated Hummingbird
Outside my window sill
At the feeder drinking your fill
Being guarded by daddy on the hill
He's hoovering over
Guarding your evey move
Trying to protect you
From every cat that's got groove
