one for the birds

spring
the trees
sing

atop the oak
songbird sings a single note
over and over

a cardinal calls
from the budding forsythia
the dogwood answers

power lines swing
in the light April breeze
redbird takes flight

in hideaways
blue jays raising holy hell
hawk overhead

by the lake
I close the book to watch
the duck parade

above the wetlands
a dead tree alive
with egrets

from the cypress tree
cry of a young fish hawk
trying out its wings

the gull and I
watch the tide ripple in
tasting the wind

on wings of the gull
my mind soars above the clouds
reaching for the stars

Very nice -- sensitive, in touch with your feelings and you have the ability to write about it. Excellent. A good write.

I so very much love this. Your images are clean and exquisite. I love "a dead tree alive with egrets..."

And, for all my days to come, I will never see, hear or even think of a gull without thinking of you. I do believe you have a special one who must be your angel. Or maybe - you are its . . . like you are ours.

Gene, at last my simple mind has coupled with the elite relationship you share with the gulls. It is metaphorical and powerfully persuasive with a touch that is deft. May your gull endure to guide your muse to ever greater heights of creativity. I linger here at an earthly level while you soar. I bid you love and peace my dear friend. Jon Michael

Love the pithy punchy lines, Gene,
such confidence in the writing
and such reverberation
...and longing.

Oooh, I love the birds, and this poem is magnificent and I love the ending!
What a wonderful season it is when nature seems to come alive from a long winter's slumber.
I love how the Great Blue Heron, the ducks and the swans all seem to live out the melodies of the season.
Blessings,
Christine
