spring sevenling

A window view with dVerse poets….

i rake dead leaves
pick up fallen sticks
fill birdbath to brim

seven sparrows
fritter in chirpy circle
twitter reflectively on rim

lazy gaze out window sees spring days peep in

    I hope you don’t mind that I picked your poem. I just picked the first one that popped up when I went looking for poetry! https://christinebialczak.com/2023/04/20/npm-scavenger-hunt-scars-that-heal/

    Very nicely done, Lynn. I had a starling taking a bath in mine this morning!

    Short and sweet, Lynn! Birdbaths, tables and feeders are a delight to observe through a window. Currently, there’s a cheeky rat that keeps raiding the fatballs, but the birds don’t seem to be bothered by it.
