flipping feathered multicolored confetti fall from the sky gather again circling silhouetted puff of seeds skyward ascend sliver glint to the eye high free falling in unison somersaulting down breakout in formation circle round repeating down down hoping young ones don't hit the ground LGR(C)3/13/11 |

WoW! I know the poem isn't about it, but all that stuff falling out of the sky makes me think of Mardi Gras. We just finished Mardi Gras around here last Tuesday (Fat Tuesday) and the multi-colored beads and doubloons are still lying in the gutter and street. They were tossed from carnival floats and thusly I associated that with your poem. I'm assuming you are writing about birds of some kind, because of the last lines about the baby. ~ My grandmother is over eighty and still doesn't need glasses. Drinks right out of the bottle. ~ |

Yes Jerry it is about birds-Roller Pidgeons to be exact. They do flips in the air when they fly. They are really fun to watch. Sometimes a few of the the younger ones don't get the timing right and roll right to the ground (ouch) most often they are okay and grow out of it. ____________________________________________ Hey Faith! Thanks for the read glad you liked it! Lori |

I know what you mean Lori Beautiful aren't they? I like to what the Terns over the lake. The acrobatics are nothing short of fantastic. Love this! Eric |

Yes Eric they are! And it is amazingly relaxing to sit and watch them. We have been having problems with falcons lately... You wouldn't think a bird the size of a pidgeon could carry one off.  but such is the cycle of life.Lori |

Now see? I envisioned the starlings over the fields of milo...but then again, birds of a feather... well, you know the rest.  |

Sunshine-Yep, as long as I make some type of bird brain out of the reader, I'm happy. Happy St. Paddy's |
