Blue Jays and "Friends"

Blue Jays and "Friends"

A Poem by Shelley Warner
"

I experimented with triplets and a rhyme scheme

"

The Blue Jay lands on the freshly rototilled earth,

Swishing dirt from side to side,

For all it’s worth

 

He darts toward a Robin looking for worms

Off flies the brown and red

And to the dirt, the Jay returns

 

The guts of Halloween pumpkins lie scattered around

The Blue Jay and a squirrel occupy parts of the yard,

As a veritable feast for them both abound.

 

It is a sunny fall day in the Pacific Northwest

Pumpkins and leaves, and sunshine and rain

It’s the season that I like the best
