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 [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (04-11-2003 04:28 PM).] |

Noah, I like the spring in your step, it matches the spring in your write. Kethry 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 Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
