A Banquet for the Birds

A brisk breeze blows;
Buckeye branches bow  
Beneath the beautiful, blue sky.  
Behold!  
Blackberry brambles    
Bursting with berries,  
Bring bountiful banquets for the birds.  
Blue Jays and blackbirds  
Break berries beneath their bold bills,  
A ferocious feeding frenzy    
Before the famine of first frost.  
A curious cardinal creeps ever closer,    
Keeping careful consideration of the crows;
Fearful, but finally finding his favorite fix
In a fervent flurry of feathers.
'Bzzzzzz'
A bee buzzes by,
Busy as can be.
As butterflies brush against
Brilliant bouquets of
Buttonbush blossoms,
Blooming
Before my eyes.
