Avian Leaves

Bluejay fly by
Avian chatter overhead
Gentle breeze settles leaves

Nature’s Noisy Call

A deafening call
White noise serenity, peace.
Nature’s noisy hall.

Desperate bleating

Calls despite the company–

Only birds respond.

Wildly flapping wings

An aerial performance

As temperatures soar.

Locusts devour as
Cicadas sing their song.

Low rumbling
Speaks of rain

Chatter all around
From birds up high.

Can you hear
Florida coming alive?

Distracted from my book
I begin to look

Around when I spotted a nest
With a bird taking a rest.

What a view that must be
If only I could see

Way up there
Where the weather is fair.

But instead I am down here
As I have this fear

What if I fall from that height
Oh, what a fright!

So here I will stay
I have to write an essay anyway

Sitting out in the sun
Watching the horses run.

I find these horses so neat
With their flighty feet.
