Today's Poem.
As my pen hovers above clean paper I ask
what elegance will awe me as light rouses
dawn to nature's sessions of fresh happenings.
Yet nothing I scribe could be half as exciting
while in those first throws of morning's glory
gray turns to mauve when the sun begins rising.
Then autumn's remaining red rose
genuflects
in petally gratitude for daylight
as marigolds
flutter their yellow and nod to
one sparrow
who lands on top of dew-wet
geranium heads
and stops without any wobble
to slake a thirst.
Legs astride as he bends to sip my heart sighs
in marvel at bird-agility then as tiny wings flail
feathers reflect to perfection sky's pale pink lighting.
Oh yes, he is today's poem I will try to write.

Yours is the dawn Fay. Time after time you give us another facet of its beauty.
Today one of our common wild birds sadly in decline, much overlooked. These brisk little chaps and chapettes suddenly appear and are gone in a flash. A pleasure to catch one taking its morning dew. Lovely picture too.
We used to put out stale bread for them as a child and there would be a huge flight of hedge sparrows and house sparrows, starlings and blackbirds. Rarely seen in such numbers today.
Oh, nature.. the eternal muse, such perfection and intricate simplicity drives an attentive audience to hunger in marvel.
Beautiful colourful write Fay.
Your poem reflects back thousands of years as the bird flies above, to taste their prey and to diversify into different species in which we marvel at every day. You've captured a natures thriving environment and to the connection in the lives these amazing creature which we adore. Thanks for sharing this warm-hearted poem. I love it, too...
and just as your little birdie seems to have done.. you my poetic friend have equally succeeded ....... N
