Birds Birds Birds
My favorite bird is the red-winged blackbird. It has these intense, daring red flashes on its wings and they are just so lovely and remind me of all the pleasant bits of my childhood. Birds in general are amazing and although I am jaded about many things I can still appreciate the simple beauty of a bird in rest or flight. I would love to read your bird poems, your bird dreams, your bird horror stories, whatever you got for me. Anything goes as long as you meet that minimum limit of 15 words. Oh, and please tag me!
Mourning Dove
Starstruck, stuck, stolen hearts
intertwined, like doves in daylight
making love look easy,
caught in the breeze of it all.
Following like fools,
as one leads the other.
Too much, too soon,
yet I can still hear them,
soft songs in the distance,
the trappings of courtship.
