Poetree


Grey on grey
all through the day
Sparrows wait
like music notes
to be heard

Hi Laura, thanks for that! :-)

Now that's what I call birdsong!

P.S. Am intrigued by your work predicament... sounds like prohibition Chicago! Would love to hear the details...!

this is lovely.

except the word verification is rapping - hope the sparrows weren't rapping, that wouldn't be nearly so sweet.

The title is so clever coupled with the beautiful photo. The birds do indeed look like musical notes scattered along the treetop.

Joey Polanski said...

High atop a mighty tree,

A little birdy sat.

Underneath the tree sat me,

The victim of a SPLAT.

Imagine the branches filled with ink, writing letters in the wind, with every bird arriving or leaving. What a wonderful escape into the sense of sound. Thank you.
Please have a nice start into the weekend.

Beautifully observed and translated. Sight, sound, poetry. The bird accents in the branches silhouetted against the sky are lovely notes, indeed.

Steve - I'll get you the dirt tomorrow...more may happen you see!

Violet- thanks, I don't think they were rapping but they were certainly happy about something!

Stick up-thank you very much!

Joey - hello and welcome to my little blog! Great poem, hope it was made up?!! (and you're not sittin' there covered in goo)

Robert- nice to see you here today, enjoy the book when you get to it.

Louciao-aw shucks, thanks sis. It was a grey day, I waited with thebirds for the blue sky to no avail. Not even hail.

I had my car washed nice and neat

For someone that I had to meet

For lunch; I parked and went to eat

And that's when it occurred.

--

I should have been much more discreet

And not parked on Sesame Street

My car was covered up; complete

With crap from a Big Bird.

Atlas- great to see you here! and I love that poem, was the goo yellow too??? :-)
