Birds Birds Birds
My favorite bird is the red-winged blackbird. It has these intense, daring red flashes on its wings and they are just so lovely and remind me of all the pleasant bits of my childhood. Birds in general are amazing and although I am jaded about many things I can still appreciate the simple beauty of a bird in rest or flight. I would love to read your bird poems, your bird dreams, your bird horror stories, whatever you got for me. Anything goes as long as you meet that minimum limit of 15 words. Oh, and please tag me!

Drops of Energy (hummingbirds)
Some birds seal themselves in logs,
Make their mates work just like dogs.
Others speak quite knowingly.
How impressive they can be!
Birds can count, add, and subtract.
Brains these birdbrains never lacked.
Homing pigeons formed a link,
Helped allies know what to think.
Bright canaries sacrificed,
So humans were well advised.
Crocs’ birds aren’t idiotic
Their lives are symbiotic.
Of all these that defy words,
I’m most charmed by hummingbirds.
For twelve hundred miles they fly,
Nonstop, logic to belie.
Little drops of energy,
Hummingbirds have synergy.
