 A bird is singing in a tree, It seems he is singing to me. His notes are sad much like a groan, Has his lover left him alone? He stopped singing and flew away, Into the sky so dark and gray, I wish he hadn't left like that, Especially wish I'd worn my hat. ©March 1, 2010 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Was that a B-52 bird Jerry?  I was so into the perceived emotions of that songbird in the tree. The hat bit was golden pal! Top shelf humor to go with a cup of morning joe! Enjoy the rest of your day! ...just bein' Bluesy |

something about the sole bird perched, on a cold wintry day,with a shrill note coming my way...is it sad or hopeful, somber or a premonition. I thank the Lord for giving us their free flight for us to imagine if only we could take off......................... |

reminded me of some birds I think it was in Georgia, when you would walk under a canopy of trees these birds would dive bomb you and you would find yourself running and ducking sometimes...james |
