that tree’s branch took a few twists,
but finally found
what it was looking for. Now
it gives birds a place to rest.

there’s a whole lot going on.
There’s more than I can hear or see
as one note in this moving symphony.

always dines in peace,
doesn’t threaten smaller birds,
joins them for their morning feast.

and drift into the past,
but when Knox gave his leash
an unexpected tug
I made a sudden landing.

We were regaled with
something that sounded more like
bird commentary than song.

Different Stances
Unlike those two mourning doves
who wouldn’t give an inch,
those three ravens made space
for each other and enjoyed
their meal in peace.

Hitting A Wall
Little did they know,
but more knowledge would not help,
What this task needed was heart.
