Looking up

Waking up
snow on the ground
when i look up
there is a group of 5 Grey Jays
a brand new family?
They fly so well
among the faint green
tree tops
I just keep looking up
change thoughts in my head(er)
let go of that last bit of cold in my heart
Because, well
the shorebirds are here
I heard them
already at the lake
now they are right here
in my neighbors backyard


The Lesser Yellowlegs

    Beautiful new header:) and the picture of you!! So summery:) Letting go of that last bit of cold:)

    I love your poem and the shorebirds. Refreshing. I really like the simplicity of the line

    "Because, well
    the shorebirds are here"

    life shifts on such moments, doesn't it? :)

    Spring! Yay!

    I wonder why they are the lesser yellow legs.
    What about the greater yellow legs? Where do they go?
