I am an honorary bird.
I sit amongst them
and watch as they dot the green forest
with bursts of yellow, red and blue
hue's of hope
A red cardinal observes a bird feeder
over run with blue chickadee's
and a goldfinch calls somewhere in the brush
Come winter time
a splash of purple finch and the
orange glow of a mergansers crown
will be added to my symphony of colour
These birds
and the forest around them
have formed themselves
into some natural banner of pride for me
All its bright tones
on the backs of my dear friends
in the tree's
Nature herself contributes
her own green flourish
I am an honorary bird
my heart is wrapped in rainbow plumage

After the Storm
After the storm of winter snow there sat a small bear by the name Ted, of course. He loves the snow and likes to roll around in it making all sorts of trails and whatever he has a mind to do. He wondered where all the people are, but in a way, he is hoping that they are all snug in the homes maybe drinking hot chocolate-one of his favorite drinks with mini-marshmallows and eating something homemade for he likes this winter wonderland all to himself to romp and play and maybe even catch some fish down by the river.
