Deep, gutteral, they call
from within their chests or
throats, unmistakeable echoing
in tall shaded trees.

Rounded clones, each
with markings in the same
places, wide beady eyes
alert to gun or predator.

Bursting from branches, the
clap of wings, then strong
straight flight. Eating their
fill in numbers, quickly, in corn fields.

Big, powerful birds, grey
with white patches and
rose pink iridescence
Birds of quiet solitude.

Come read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling
And banish the thoughts of day.

I always enjoy your poetry! ~ On nature, romance, saving the environment... You always grab my attention and keep it to the end ~ and beyond! I have many images still in my mind from poems of yours that I have had the pleasure of reading!
