Swooping,

chirp-chattering,

wings in stasis,

gliding on nothing.

Which one is the

early bird, ear to

the ground,

yanking breakfast?

She prayed to be

a bird and fly away.

I pray so I can fly around.

I’ll skip the worm

if birds can skip.

    Yanking breakfast – that’s like their morning workout! Good stuff! It was great hearing the chirping birds early this morning.

Thanks for your time and thoughts.
