Alittlepoem-sparrows plight

sparrows congregate to feast on crumbs
scatter like dry leaves when master squirrel this way comes

To congregate again-

heavy crunch of mail carrier boots
cause them to take wing with protests in their throats
quiet chirps of winter weighted down by frigid air-

Remembering frenetic Spring calls of
Need a date need a date
Hear me here I am

sparrows congregate again to rise and sing on rays of golden light
In wintersong they call in cold dampened tones
hear me, here, I am
I sing --I sing because I can.

Nice job! Can't let a good poem go to waste, can we?

You do need to blog more often, you know.
