I saw a little Mockingbird, getting
something to eat
He lit right on the feeder to eat
of the nectar sweet

He took a litle sip, then another,
maybe one or two
Then he paused for a moment in midair
then backwards he flew

He did this back and forth for just a few
minutes, it seemed
Then off he flew away, with litle tiny
wings that gleamed

Soon there'll be all different kinds, for
the birds fly South, we're told
But we're already here in the South, you see,
where it never gets very cold

Soon Autumn will be over, with Winter's
approaching soon
We'll soon hear the birds from the North
here, singing a happy tune

Something else always happens, that I've often
wondered about
Where do these little Mockingbirds go, for they
surely leave this "South"

Well done! I love birds. BTW, I think they may all hang out at Marge's place for a poetic rest.

Ethel, so that's where my mockingbirds have gone. Hmmm....if I were smart, I'd have gone to Florida with them.

This was very cute. Hugs, Marti

Sue.....Reckon where they do go to ???? Thanks for reading my poem.

Maureen...I think they just tweet. They are so cute, though. Thanks for your reply.

Martie...Yeah, I'll bet that's where they go, Southern Calf., or somewhere farther South. Thanks, Martie.
Juliette....OOOOHHH. I imagine it gets REAL cold there in Colorado. I would love the snow, though. Thank you for your reply.

Marti....Aren't they cute little things? I love to watch them flying around the feeders. Gary's Dad got some cute pictures of them eating from the feeders. I Thanks for your reply.
