Love Birds

Love Birds

A Poem by ROXANE DORSEY

.....on a branch of an oak tree set a blue jay & me.
We waited sitting all day.

On a branch he set.....he chirp'd his heart away.
Wow, that bird had a set of lungs.  He tweeted love
songs.  That bird carried a tune, traveling notes
zoomed through the air.  Ooh, his mate should be
flying in soon.  Then two shall carry his tune
side by side 'til the sun turn down. To Spreading
reddish-yellow & orange-brownish across the late
evening horizon.  The sun blast's the last
yellow rays to darken the day.  Bring on the night.

Moving their birdie bodies left to right to stretch a
note of love-a-byes. Two tender loving creatures
swing n sing on a lonely oak tree branch.
I set. I watch. I waited.  Too scared to move
in fear of disturbing something so lovely.  
It's the closest I'll come to sitting on a branch
seeing & listening to nature bare its soul wit love.

love poetry since it has been embedded in my mind deeply way back when I was 4 years old. A very good reader in pre-school. Nursery rhymes tuned me in even deeper. more..
