Robin

Robin, oh Robin, in your coat of red,
A burst of color when skies are lead.
Sing your song in the morning’s hush,
Greet the dawn with your melodic rush.

Feathers like embers against the snow,
A fiery beacon with a gentle glow.
Tiny heart beating with joyous song,
In the quiet woods, where you belong.

In the frosty morning or springtime dew,
Your joyful presence always rings true.
Through the silent whisper of the winter white,
Your song carries the promise of sunlight.

Your voice, a melody, that breaks the night,
Telling tales of the coming daylight.
Robin, oh Robin, in your coat of red,
You bring to life the world that’s dead.

Nestled in your nest, you sing a lullaby,
Underneath the wide, cerulean sky.
A serenade for the sun to wake,
Your music the day does gently make.

Robin, oh Robin, your song so sweet,
A harmonious rhythm, that none can beat.
In you, we see nature’s simple grace,
A tiny heartbeat in its vast embrace.

Noisy Old Crow – Poem

Noisy old crow on the old oak tree,
Feathers ruffled and black as coal,
Caws break the dawn, oh so boldly,
A primal music that stirs the soul.

Bathed in the morning’s gentle glow,
Sharing tales of the night that fled,
Wings are strong, eyes full of mystery,
Guarding secrets that are unsaid.

Flights of fancy in the azure sky,
A silhouette against the midday sun,
The wind whispers your cryptic sigh,
Your story, crow, is never done.

Noisy old crow in the crimson dusk,
Harbinger of what’s to come,
Your silhouette on the twilight’s husk,
Heralds night when day is done.

You speak in a language old as time,
Yet misunderstood by most,
Your enigmatic, rhythmic rhyme,
Seems more an echo, than a boast.

Through the moonlit night, in silent watch,
Guardian of the secrets in the dark,
Under the veil of the starry swatch,
In your perch, you leave your mark.

Noisy old crow, oh so wise,
With knowledge hidden in those eyes,
Keeper of truths, teller of lies,
In your caw, a universe lies.

Noisy old crow, friend so old,
Your tales, though grim, are precious gold,
In your feathers, stories are scrolled,
Noisy old crow, your legacy is told.

A Little Glimpse of God

In the hush of dawn, before the world awakes,
When the morning sun the darkness breaks,
A melody echoes, pure and clear,
A little glimpse of God is near.

In the song of the lark, so high above,
In the gentle coo of the mourning dove,
In the robin’s trill, in the crow’s caw loud,
God’s whispers are carried on wings unbound.

Each feather etched with divine design,
In each bird’s song, His love does shine.
In the eagle’s soar, in the sparrow’s flight,
A glimpse of God, cloaked in sunlight.

From the tiny hummingbird, swift and bright,
To the owl, silent guardian of the night,
Each bird’s call, each fluttering wing,
Is a hymn to God, that they sing.

When the nightingale serenades the moon,
Or the peacock struts in full bloom,
In the parrot’s colors, bold and odd,
Each is a beautiful glimpse of God.

In the nests they build, high in the trees,
In the dance of shadows in the autumn breeze,
In their journey across the heavens broad,
Birds show us a path to God.

So listen close, in the quiet of dawn,
To the avian chorus, as a new day is born.
For in their song, simple and free,
A little glimpse of God, you’ll surely see.

Soaring

Birds of the sky, in their grand ballet,
Silhouettes painted on the canvas of day,
With wings that cut through the cerulean expanse,
In the heaven’s vastness, they freely dance.

Soaring, gliding, they claim their stage,
In the open skies, they engage,
Feathers kissed by the morning sun,
On thermal currents, their dance is spun.

High above the land and sea,
In flight, they express their liberty,
An eagle’s dive, a sparrow’s rise,
Etching stories in the endless skies.

Harbingers of dawn, their song so sweet,
As sunlight and morning air meet,
In the silence, their melodies burst,
Their joyous notes quenching our thirst.

Each swoop, each glide, each lofty climb,
Sings an ode to the sublime,
In their flight, an art so pure,
An elixir to soothe, to cure.

Feathers kissed by the moon’s soft glow,
Underneath the stars, they continue their show,
Soaring in dreams, through the night’s hold,
Their stories in the starlight told.

Soaring high, in endless swirls,
Above the chaos of worldly twirls,
Their dance speaks of freedom earned,
Of lessons learned, and journeys turned.

Watch them soar, watch them fly,
In the boundless, azure sky,
See the poetry in their flight,
Birds of the sky, oh what a sight!

Robin Redbreast Poem

Robin Redbreast, heart ablaze,
Singing sweetly in morning’s haze,
A herald of dawn, of day’s first light,
Your cheery song takes the night’s quiet.

In the winter’s chill, in the frosty morn,
Your vibrant hue, like a beacon, worn,
Against the white, you stand so bold,
Your story in the silence, told.

Robin Redbreast, in your coat so fine,
In the bare branches, you brightly shine,
Your melody weaves through the icy air,
A song of resilience, beyond compare.

Through springtime showers, under the sun’s warm gaze,
In the summer’s glory, in autumn’s blaze,
You sing your song, both loud and clear,
A hymn of hope, for all to hear.

In your tiny heart, a courage so grand,
Against winter’s harshness, you bravely stand,
Your voice rings out, in the quiet land,
A symphony of life, beautifully planned.

Robin Redbreast, bird so small,
Yet, your spirit outshines us all,
In your song, in your flight,
You bring to the world, a radiant light.

So sing, Robin Redbreast, let your voice be heard,
You are a marvel, a wonderous bird,
In your melody, in your fiery breast,
Lies a testament of nature, at its best.

To Fly Away

To fly away, where the sky meets the sea,
Unbound, unshackled, utterly free.
To dance with the wind, to embrace the sun,
To soar above the world, a day’s work done.

To fly away, where the stars brightly glow,
Chasing the moon’s soft, silvery show.
In the vastness of the night, where dreams take flight,
A silent ballet, bathed in moonlight.

To fly away, through the morning haze,
Feeling the warmth of the first sun rays.
Bathing in dawn’s golden light, oh what a sight,
A spectacle of nature, pure and bright.

To fly away, with the birds on high,
Beneath the canvas of the endless sky.
With wings spread wide, in the wind’s sweet sigh,
To become one with the cloud’s soft cry.

To fly away, where the earth looks small,
Where the echoes of silence in the heart do fall.
With only the horizon as the guiding mark,
Into the yonder, vast and stark.

To fly away, oh what a dream,
To drift with the wind, to follow the stream,
For to have wings, to be truly free,
Is to embrace the world, in all its glee.

So, dream to fly, away and beyond,
In the beauty of the sky, let your heart respond.
For in each of us, a desire lay,
A deep yearning, to simply… fly away.

For All Us Birds

For all us birds, that dance on the breeze,
Whose songs fill the air, put hearts at ease,
We sing and soar, in skies so broad,
Each flight, each note, a gift from God.

For all us birds, of feathers bright,
Who greet the dawn, bid farewell to night,
In every hue, in every song,
In this world, we belong.

From the robin’s red, to the raven’s black,
From the skyward journey, to the homeward track,
In our tiny hearts, a love for the sky,
A yearning to spread our wings, and fly.

For all us birds, who build a nest,
Who find in the trees, a place to rest,
We weave our homes, with love and care,
In nature’s embrace, we share.

From the eagle’s crag, to the sparrow’s hedge,
From the mountain peak, to the water’s edge,
We claim this world, wild and free,
In its beauty, we find our glee.

For all us birds, under the sun and stars,
We wear our freedom, like healing scars,
In the open skies, we find our worth,
For we are the music of the Earth.

So listen close, hear our song,
Feel the rhythm, strong and long,
For all us birds, in our flight and mirth,
We are poetry, on the canvas of Earth.

Sunning – Bird Poetry

Bathing in the radiant glow of the sun,
A joyous ritual, when day is begun,
Feathers spread wide, soaking up the light,
A bird in its glory, a captivating sight.

The morning dew glistens, the world is still,
As the sun climbs higher, over the hill,
Each ray captured in the plumage so bright,
A living prism, in the golden light.

The warmth seeping into each delicate quill,
Time seems to stop, the world goes still,
The sunning bird, in quiet delight,
Basks in the day, after the night.

The starling’s shimmer, the sparrow’s grace,
Each find a perch, their sunning place,
Under the sky, so vast and blue,
A scene painted in golden hue.

The radiant peacock, the humble dove,
All find solace under the sky above,
In the sun’s soft touch, there’s a secret shared,
A moment of peace, for those who dared.

As the sun dances on the azure stage,
Each bird plays its part, no matter the age,
Feathers aglow, eyes gently closed,
In the sun’s embrace, a poem composed.

So let the birds sun, in radiant array,
In this simple act, they embrace the day,
And in their joy, under the sun’s soft kiss,
We find a moment of pure bliss.

Bird Words

Words of the birds, sung at dawn,
In each note, a new day is born.
Whispers in the wind, stories unfurl,
In their language, secrets of the world.

Words of the eagle, bold and strong,
Speak of journeys, rugged and long,
Tales of the mountains, the azure height,
Etched in the shadow of soaring flight.

Words of the nightingale, under the moon’s glow,
Sing a lullaby, soft and slow.
In its melody, dreams are spun,
A silver thread in the night, softly run.

Words of the raven, dark and deep,
Speak of secrets the shadows keep,
In its call, echoes the ancient lore,
Of the mysteries held in the crow’s caw.

Words of the robin, bright and clear,
Sing of hope, drawing near.
In its trill, the warmth of the sun,
A joyous anthem, beautifully sung.

Words of the hummingbird, quick and light,
Tell of the nectar’s sweet delight,
In its hum, a rhythm is found,
A heartbeat’s pulse in sound.

Bird words, spoken in flutter and song,
A language old, yet forever young,
In their voices, in the wind sown,
Are the verses of the world, beautifully crooned.

Black Sky! Roosting Bird Poem

Under the black sky, as the day departs,
A roosting bird, his evening starts.
Feathers ruffled, against the cold night,
In the quiet, he waits for the moon’s light.

Silhouetted against the starry array,
In the gentle arms of the tree, he’ll stay.
Among the leaves, his lullaby heard,
The peaceful slumber of a roosting bird.

His song of the day now softly ends,
As night’s curtain, the sky descends.
His tiny heart beats a rhythm slow,
As he nestles in, the night’s shadow to know.

The world around him, in quiet, wrapped,
While in his perch, the bird is safely trapped.
In the hush, a serenade to the night,
Under the black sky, a tranquil sight.

The moon above, a silver glow,
Casting shadows, on the world below.
A roosting bird, in the night unfurled,
Finds peace in this silent world.

As the stars twinkle, in the black sky,
The roosting bird, with a sleepy sigh,
Closes his eyes, under the night’s soft spell,
In the heart of the darkness, all is well.

Black sky above, the world so still,
The roosting bird, has his fill.
In the quiet night, under the moon’s gentle curve,
The roosting bird, finds the rest he deserves.

Parrots – My Poem

Parrots of color, bold and bright,
Feathers gleaming in the sunlight,
Emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red,
A vivid painting, nature’s thread.

Voices echoing, tales they tell,
In every squawk, in every yell,
A mimic’s skill, a chatterer’s art,
Each sound, a piece of their heart.

In the jungle’s heart, or skies so high,
Their vibrant hues catch the eye,
A flash of color, a dazzling sight,
Against the sky, they take flight.

In playful antics, they engage,
In nature’s play, they take the stage,
Curious eyes, filled with mirth,
Adding laughter to our Earth.

Beneath the sun, they bask in glow,
In the cool breeze, they sway to and fro,
Living portraits, in the trees,
Dancing gently, with the breeze.

Parrots, in their feathered splendor,
To the sky, their praises render,
In their flight, their song, their hue,
A beautiful poem, forever new.

So, sing, parrots, in your joyful play,
Add color to each passing day,
For in your voices, in your flight,
You bring to the world, a delightful light.

The Majesty of the Eagle: A Song of the Skies

High above the valleys and the mountains crest,
There dwells a winged monarch, reigning over all the rest.
A silhouette against the sun, a mighty eagle takes its flight,
The sky is his kingdom, the clouds his rightful right.

In his eyes resides a fire, a spark of ancient might,
A cosmic dance of elements, a fusion of power and light.
He rides upon the winds, a skyward emperor divine,
In each arc and swoop, an essence truly sublime.

His mighty wings are spread wide, caressing the air’s sweet kiss,
His feathers finely etched by nature’s perfect bliss.
Every daybreak is his birth, every dusk his solemn reign,
Through storms and quiet starlight, in joy and piercing pain.

In his flight, there’s a melody, a song as old as time,
A celestial choir singing, a symphony so divine.
His heart beats to the rhythm of the Earth’s gentle hum,
He is a poem painted by the skies, a sonnet softly strummed.

The Grace of the Swan: Reflections on Still Waters

In gardens of serenity, by calm and silent ponds,
A creature graces silently, of beauty and of bonds.
A swan of purest white, a dream weaved into being,
In her graceful glide, there’s a poem worth seeing.

She spreads her wings like satin, in the golden morning light,
Her reflection in the water, a twin in eternal flight.
She dances with her image, a ballet soft and kind,
A testament to nature’s art, a masterpiece designed.

Her silence is a sonnet, her movement a verse,
In her purity and elegance, no sorrow can immerse.
Her mate for life she chooses, a testament to love’s stay,
Together they paint a picture of loyalty in ballet.

Whispering a lullaby to the cool and quiet air.
A swan in her magnificence, in silence and in sound,
A ballad of serene peace, in her elegance, we’re found.
