before breakfast
before the blackbird

Tag: blackbird
lazy days…..
Now the morning wakes
to a silent chorus
bird song gone
the blackbird
sits
quietly
alone
without a care
while
just one
pigeon
in some far off tree
barely heard now
breaks into a moan ~ Gill McGrath© August 15
[ a silence fills the first morning air now that territorial lines are less defined and bird families are mostly grown… although they still gather in large numbers all day, for the fast food waiting for them at their usual eating places]
frantic bird activity. tonight. bedtime
one ate worms
one ate snails
two turned into gold…..
Gill McGrath© May 26 all between 8.00pm and 9.30pm tonight
