Spotted Towhee stole my heart

Walking along a Trail in California 

where sagebrush creates a hush and 

winds blow around on hallowed ground... 

I saw a Spotted Towhee on a Cactus flower 

showing his feathers of grey and orange  

He was reciting poetry with greatest of ease... 

He seemed to know a womans heart like a 

Rose knows when to bloom in petals soft 

where dewdrops lie in tender grass... 

and both embrace the beginning of Love.

This is HANDS DOWN your best bird poem EVER (and you've got tons of great ones!) I don't think you can top a PERFECT poem like this (I've described a poem as "perfect" only 3 or 4 times), but I know you'll try (not becuz you're clever & talented, but becuz you're cantankerous) heh! heh! heh! This is unbelievable becuz of how my mind was riding parallel rails between the idea of thinking myself an actual bird & how that would feel with the other guy flirting it up . . . and then I was also imagining your poem as a human and hearing the bird, wanting to believe it's flirting with me! After a while, I couldn't tell where I left off & the bird began! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Margie... this is so hilarious.. but my mind is very metaphorical and even we gals can identify with birds. Love your review... I needed these endearing reviews today as my daughter born in ‘76 is having a gallbladder operation today or tomorrow.
Please prayer for her... glad they know what has caused her discomfort and that operations are so advanced with technology. 💗 love and hugs, Pat

Prayers! (((HUGS))) . . . gall bladder smashing is pretty routine these days, but anything can happens & moms worry!

Thank you Margie... you are a chatty glass of Champagne and I would not have it any other way. I will keep in touch. Pat

Nature is aware of feelings and flowers sing of romance...
when love dances in the afternoon...
