The gathered birds are making Such a cacophonous sound. (Ilove that word.)Are they telling me They now are onward bound? Are they rounding up the young, Reminding every single bird? They are so loud, I am quite sure That every bird has heard. The blackbirds, starlings, swallows, Are headed on their way. It's time to fill the feeders now For the little ones who stay. The chicadees and juncos, The towhees and that bunch, Will be pecking at my window, Asking for their daily lunch. For just a few small handouts, They will keep me entertained And chase away my doldrums, When all I see is rain. We have a gentleman's agreement. They'll provide the fun and song; My part their food and water, The whole cold winter long. By: Joyce |

Joyce: This is charming! I know how you feel when the summer birds leave. Fortunately we have a variety who winter here and enjoy them all. Joyce, at least you don't have to shovel snow!! Betty Lou Hebert |

Yes, I think it is quite sad to see them go and I will be very happy to see them when they return.. Loved your poem. |

Joyce~ I love it when the 'snow birds' come swooping in~ My feeder coffers are filled to the brim for my little Northern visitors who glide right on in~ Don't worry 'bout your feathered friends Dixie Land is where they went We'll keep 'em fat n' sassy but they'll return with a Southern accent !  *Delightful fun~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
