Bluebirds
By: Noah Eaton
8/18/02

Bluebirds twittering in the summer breeze
Little girls in glass slippers skip-di-lou wherever they please
Buzzing like the bumblebees
Innocence shining even through the cold of night
In every childs eyes

Bluebirds flocking on the split-rail fence
Raccoons eavesdropping through the camping tents
Beneath where little chicks hatch in their warm snug nests
Laughter echoing even through a January sunlight
In every childs eyes

Bluebirds warbling "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon"
With beady puppy eyes of joy strewn with porcelain
Every little boy's friend and the grace of every woman
Where even the partridge family is invited in Nature's limousine
And swim in lakes of dusty opal as Mother does her late spring cleaning



Sister Cardinal and her family comes to visit
With Brer Fox and Rabbit and Aunt Egret
Among fawn-mingled clover fields lined with cinnamon
Where a father and daughter go fishing
The girl hugging her daddy under a dragonfly ceremony

Bluebirds singing on my shoulder
Ushering me in the beauty of the summer
Where wild ponies gallop with manes glowing ever golder
Playing duck, duck goose with the hummingbirds
The tortoise jumping "Yay!" beating the hare on the speedway of Mother Nature



Bluebirds twittering in the summer breeze
Little girls in glass slippers skip-di-lou wherever they please
Buzzing like the bumblebees
Innocence shining even through the cold of night
In every childs eyes
This was all you needed
To make this day fill you with delight...




"You'll find something that's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20

Had to come back here, Noah.
You are really creative. You do some beautiful things with your poems and your pictures. I just read a post from you and that's as special as your writing.
Love, Barb
