mockingbird song
To kill a mockingbird is to destroy innocence—innocence
injured or ruined through contact with evil.
sincere, she sings her mocking song,
perched on a wayward branch;
songs that to other birds belong
she copyrights carte blanche.
orchestral suites of flutes and strings
and horns and piccolos:
the music this imposter...
injured or ruined through contact with evil.
sincere, she sings her mocking song,
perched on a wayward branch;
songs that to other birds belong
she copyrights carte blanche.
orchestral suites of flutes and strings
and horns and piccolos:

BLUEBERRY LOVED
BLUEBERRY LOVED
I always toss out broken bread
and peanuts for my friends, and always
make certain that the crystal dish is filled
with cool fresh water.
What began as nothing has become
a streaming nature preserve of
consistent unconfined flow of
my nature pets. They are fed. They are
free. They always come back to me.
That is the way it should be.
The blue jay hopped up to
take a drink, not uttering a
single disappointed shriek as
it sipped the cool water within
a wasteland now devoid of nuts.
NO NUTS....

I can hear sparrows
beyond my door,
Mother screaming
over roofs and air,
I know the call,
I've seen the bodies, year after year,
not this one,
this one I go out with a cap gun,
shoot the invader,
shadow of death beak
snapping,
blood lust unsolved.
I think they're getting accustom to me,
they squabble shortly after in opposing trees,
no bodies on the ground,
no spade soaked in babe.

An Invisible Parrot
I espy
Three people wandering around
through the busy hubbub
Of the Old Town
They have four parrots
Perched, upon their shoulders
I hope they don't poo
Anything that smoulders
"Give me a gottle of geer!"
Said an invisible parrot
In my right ear
I leapt from my seat
Much alarmed
And checked myself
But remained unharmed
Not wanting to be seen
Talking
To an invisible parrot
That was now squawking
That no-one else could hear
This invisible parrot
Squawking in my ear
"It's okay" said the...

Little Birds
I can hear a Little Bird
singing
outside my window
Little Birds always sing
sweet Lovely melodies
they must be very happy
those Little Birds who
sing
their beautiful songs
I wish everyone could
be like the Little Birds
singing
outside my window
Little Birds always sing
sweet Lovely melodies
they must be very happy
those Little Birds who
sing
their beautiful songs
I wish everyone could
be like the Little Birds

A bird overheard
Upon this path - where winter greets
a footpath walker's stride
a robin's voice affects me so
for what I hear implied.
He echoes language through the woods
in words no man can say.
Ensnaring thus my downcast soul
to turn my thoughts his way.
I wonder if his pensive plea
was borne from some unrest
for one departed from his life
now gone to heaven's nest?
Perhaps I'll never understand
orations from the glen -
but when my heart has been restored
perhaps I'll try again.

Porch Sitting
Fireflies surround me.
Can they feel me?
White moth flutters around.
Where did it go?
Strange bird says hello.
Strange as in stranger.
My mind is like a feather.
I'm gifted with light feeling.
Can they feel me?
White moth flutters around.
Where did it go?
Strange bird says hello.
Strange as in stranger.
My mind is like a feather.
I'm gifted with light feeling.

Song of Stellar's Jay
in a forest of Redwoods
the birds are all laughing
and a mango sunset falls
over the mountainside
I breath it all in:
the long grass creates
a soft bed to bare feet
the calm summer sky
a few clouds drifting
and butterflies floating
in slow-motion migration
I wish to align my vibrations
I follow deep trails weaving
through thickets of woodland
opening gradually akin to
the spreading of hands
from the shaded cool
dampness to alarming ...

The Cardinal
Yesterday
I said I had not seen a cardinal
in a while
as though
speaking directly to the universe
Today
I looked out the back window
and right then
a cardinal
landed on the Earth
and leapt onto the steps
and onto a stone on the steps
And looked into my soul.
Ambrosia red
Enrapture

And looked into my soul.

A leap of faith
The start of love
And then you fly
Knowing full well
Any landing
May break you
The start of love
And then you fly
Knowing full well
Any landing
May break you

Hot Pink
A fine pair of legs it has to be said
Fuchsia pegs in hot rocker pink
Flamboyant queen, he or she,
Decidedly queer you have to agree
Fluffy boa thrown back in disdain
head held high, such a beautiful creature,
in sizzling coral, obsidian black,
But please be respectful; stand well back.
He makes his move, stepping gingerly forward,
first one foot, a knee bend, it’s just a tad awkward
like walking through mud in ones best shoes.
He lifts his wings to shoulder height
There’s a snap like a twig, then a vigorous flapping ...
