The Joy of Flying

From here to there

I build up

great speed

& smack against

new summer

leaves that try to

block my path.

 

There is a shine

on my black feathers

from the

sun’s warm  rays.

Do other birds

wish they were me?

 

I am Blackbird

& I sing too.

Lovely poem Richard, and a great tribute to the fine blackbird.

Thank you Jenny, for your precious comment. I enjoy giving a voice to all of God's creatures who surround us with their energy & songs.

First thought it was a crow, supposed to be a bad omen. We don't have blackbirds around here don't think so and crows definitely cannot sing.

Have a good day! Tom
