bird Poems/Poetry

Hi Blackbird

Lovely poem !  I thought I would include this one as it reminds me of that wonderfuldocumentary "March of the Penguins" as narrated by Morgan Freeman.

My Father's Feet

To keep myself up off the ice,
I find my father's feet are nice.
I snuggle in his belly fluff,
And that's how I stay warm enough.
But when my father takes a walk,
My cozy world begins to rock.
He shuffles left, I hold on tight.
Oh no! He's wobbling to the right.
Not left again! Oops, here he goes.
Do you suppose my father knows
I'm hanging on to his warm toes?

Rise up this morning

THREE LITTLE BIRDS

beside my door step

singing sweet songs

of melodies pure and true

Saying! this our message to  you oo oo

singing don't worry about a thing

cause every little thing is gonna to be alright.

Bob Marley 

One of my favourite all time songs is 'blackbird' by Paul McCartney! Was somewhat disappointed when I learnt the true meaning behind it (even if it is a noble one!!)

Nice Idea ref poems just shows how tallented people are.

Here goes with one of mine . let me know what you think.

 I call it BLACKBIRD

              I'M AWOKE AT FOUR EACH MORNING

             ABOUT THE TIME THAT DAY IS DAWNING

            THE NOISE IS COMING FROM A BILL

            JUST BEYOND MY WINDOW SILL

           A SOUND I HOLD VERY DEAR

          A FREIND IS SINGING LOUD AND CLEAR

        XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

       HIS CHILDREN SNUGGLE IN A NEST

      WARM UNDER MOTHERS BREAST

       THEY KNOW IT'S SAFE WHILE HE'S AROUND

      BY HEARING THAT OLD FAMILIAR SOUND

     THERE'S MOUTHS TO FEED SOMEHOW SOME WAY

     IT'S GOING TO BE A BUSY DAY

       YET STILL HE FINDS THE TIME TO SING

     BEFORE HE WORKS AND TAKES TO WING

       XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

      YES MR BLACKBIRD SING YOUR SONG

       THE DAYS IN FRONT ARE VERY LONG

      I DON'T MIND YOU BROKE MY REST

      IT'S NICE TO HEAR YOU AT YOU BEST

I enjoyed that Ray. It sums up just how I feel about 'my' blackbird singing at 5am on summer mornings but I couldn't put it as charmingly as you have :-))

Thanks for that reply jef

 Ihave another about the sparrowhawk I'll put on later

Morning has broken

Like the first morning;

Blackbird has spoken

Like the first bird.

Praise for the singing!

Praise for the morning!

Praise them from springing

Fresh from the Word!

(Eleanor Farjeon)

Birds find their way into the hymn repertoire too!
