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...




"Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

Shakira

The world seen through your eyes is a beauteous thing to behold...

A delightful read---that  is why I read it twice!--so that I could double my pleasure!

Huggums,
Linda

Beautiful dear Noah!

You have been missed lately...hope all is well and you're just busy.

Noah,
I like the spring in your step, it matches the spring in your write.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Noah, I was just wondering why I hadn't seen any of your beautiful poetry of late and I sign into Passions and there you are with this fantastic poem and beautiful pictures.

I don't believe we have these in this neck of the world and I so enjoyed looking at them. A delightful bird.

Huggles, Marti
