Romantic Notions of a Cedar Waxwing

Bold and demure as a song of Spring...

Spring will bring the beautiful Cedar Waxwings 

with their silky and shiny brown and gray feathers... 

fluttering among the branches... taking chances of 

courting a Beauty to create fledglings... 

An airey song of love Eternal... 

promising a Summer of Blossoms of sweet dreams 

and a nest of fledglings.

Makes me think of their perhaps brief lives and times under the sun in which they find love eternal and the bloom of spring that dwells in their spirit forever. How beautifully with your words, you capture the beauty and nobility of Nature and it’s creatures...

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest DIVYA... if only we could be so noble weathering the storms of life searching for Love and Divinity. Your words wrap around my heart like Foxglove and Gladiolas charming my dreams. truly, Pat

and the more the merrier
birds in all their glory such an integral part of natures beauty and as always your poetry enhances the sweet beauty of it. all..such an enchanting poem to lift our spirits ' til springtime arrives..

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Fran ... a very charming review. We are having rather balmy weather and the birds are confused... but still at the Feeder devouring seeds.
Perhaps they are nourishing their bodies for the
Spring romance that will feather their nest. I appreciate your review. Now for the snow that surely will appear on branches soon. truly, Pat

[Fran Marie]

o h..yes I know..the snow must come..

Birds might be one of God's most romantic species. I love how you show us that . . . showing the beauty of naturalness, not complicating with anthromorphism . . . in fact, this might be what I love most about your nature poetry. You show a bird romance, not the human's stale romantic gyrations as a bad version being acted out by nature's creatures! Your poems always make me feel like I'm actually experiencing nature (which I prefer to humans! *wink! wink!*) Fondly, Margie

[Patricia Wedel]

Yes ... birds may never ask... what turns you on? They just tease their way... you can only imagine! Thanks Margie for reading... the natural way is like making homemade Ice Cream with fresh fruit. Being “Fresh” is the Secret! Haha. Pat

Dear Pat, whenever I call on your page I know I will be in for a treat. You so love the birds in your garden. It was, a delight to learn of the Cedar Waxwings and how they will soon be romancing and multiplying in number. Your observational skills are so sharp and I for one find your lines such a pleasure to read. All good things and a belated happy new year.

Chris

dearest Christine... your charming review has me twitterpated. So thrilled that you enjoyed the overtures of the Cedar Waxwing. There are so many feathered beauties flying around like opera singers
In a Grand Auditirium if blue skies and fluffy clouds. They seem to weather the rain and find refuge. It is a privilege to feed the darlings. I appreciate your visit and wish you a beautiful New Year and blessings 🎻. truly, Pat

Very sweet Pat and eloquently written.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Andrew... you are like Berry... sweet! A good aphrodisiac ... thanks for reading. dearly, Pat

[Robert Trakofler]

I think you must speak fluent bird and also that you have some of the most observant eyes I have ever known. there is a stretch of trail that follows the allegheny river here, that in the springtime is awash with bird life they let the brambles grow wild and the plantlife fosters so much habitat for them it's like a bird frenzy down there! I have seen eagles and kestrels and cardinals myriad finches geese and ducks I would love to know what they all told you as you traipsed the trial:) one day I will record a video for you and send it I'm quite sure you would enjoy:)

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Robert... you are so generous with your descriptions ... I did google kestrels and was fascinated by their lovely colors and how they manage to survive. I have some pressing matters to attend to this coming week, but I do want to get back with you on your review. Thank you so much for entertaining me with your own visits along the Allegheny River. Birds are remarkable and their colors simply are breath- taking. I appreciate your kind comments and feel very honored. dearly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Wordman... your review is a lovely poem in itself... Words to live by as the Seasons come and go. dearly, Pat

[wordman]

The beauty of nature comes alive in your poetry, Pat. I can tell you are already anxious for Spring to arrive! Birds do it, bees do it, love......romance is in the air! :) I enjoyed the happy feeling in this one. Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lydi... I appreciate your warm review of romantic notions of the gorgeous Cedar Waxwing. Quite a stylish Bird. Your humor helped me through the day with a smile for everyone. dearly, Pat

[emmajoy]

Hello and good morning, dear Pat. This seems a strange thing to say before saying more.. (wot!) but i always leave your corner feeling happier than when i arrived! Your love for the natural world is so real, so so respectful that i want to go lie down with the sodden leaves outdoor and look for worms!

That said, your poem is lovely! ' .. An airey song of love Eternal... ' that quaint little phrase says it all.. makes me smile. Thank you so very much. x

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Emma.. you are so Earty like flowers that cuddle in the Griund with earth worms and reach for the Sun where Lovers roam and become like lovely statuettes in a Garden of Ptimrose and Pomegranates forever entwined. Your Royal radiance lights my life with Butterfly eyes. truly with love, Pat x

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Emma... you are so Earthy like flowers that cuddle in the ground...

[emmajoy]

Oh luv, even your reviews sing! It's always a pleasure to read your thoughts on the world i love so much. Peas in a pod we are. Enjoy your day. x

[Patricia Wedel]

Pea pods and green sleeves ... a never ending song where birds of a feather rest upon boughs of Prayers. Love and Lullabies and blue skies across the Pond. Pat

[emmajoy]

Here dwells the sweet being who finds beauty in every letter of the alphabet. Bbet she can even create twenty six more!!!

[Patricia Wedel]

Like children building Sand Castles along the Oceans edge... unlimited grains of sand to express your dreams. dearly, Pat

The return of Spring and those romantic overtures of the avian kind..... its an annual ritual and one that always has the promise of new life and the impressive splashes of colour they eventually produce.

I am always impressed by your knowledge of all the different bird breeds, Pat, and the way you describe their joyful lives simply and with eloquence. Cedar waxwings....that is something for me to google.

Another lovely write, Pat.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Doodley... I love the ambience of your smile... as our feathered friends fly to warmer climes in search for romance and nourishment. They have the style that I want to emulate. Thank you for knocking at my door. truly, Pat
