sunlight on feathers
blue heron gleams like a gem
dazzling shades and hues
Curly Goose Feathers
like gentle corkscrews
with playful swirls, twists, and turns
goose feathers with curls
Love Song
two birds make a tribe
their love song echos through trees
future in the nest
The Cradle & The Crib
nested in a tree
mama bird feeds hungry beaks
love in every tweet
Pretty In Pink
i’m pretty in pink
adorning my face with grace
big nose kitchen sink
All-Seeing Cowbird
tiny feet resting
on tree branch without a sound
all-seeing cowbird
Everglades Evening
against a brilliant
sunset in the everglades
a blue heron rests
The Sound Of Feathers
a pair of herons
roosting in the wild thicket
the sound of feathers
Fire In The Sky
soft wings and wild things
pause in silent wonder at
the sky’s stunning fire
One Among None
one great egret stands
among a crowd of wee birds
peering marsh water
Mating Season
by the sea, they land
tiny feet grabbing shore sand
mating season clan
Tiny House
if not woodpecker
tapping on old oak, no sound
at the tiny house
Little Finch
little finch watches
all day from the birdhouse roof
parking lot people
Princess Chicken
please do not stir fry
or serve sliced and diced with rice
Princess prefers life
Passion
give me winter shores
and a passionate lover
walking hand in hand
Great White Egret
the great white egret
primps his plume and pearl feathers
by the morningtide
Taking Flight
the marvelous view
soaring high, floating freely
freedom is a bird
