Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Christmas is for the Birds

Tuesday, December 08, 2015/ Chapter 3

Chickadee trapped on the back porch,
flying back a forth in panic.
Girl steps out of the back door,
she must seem gigantic.

Chickadees screaming in the back Cherry Tree,
Human Flee, Flee, Chickadee.

Chickadee looks and settles on a window sill,
this is the girl from the wood.

Girl props open porch door and says quietly,
Fly in the direction I point.

Girl points to open door in the East,
Bird flies,
Girl waves bye.

Chickadee’s flock to the bird feeder now.
Happily eating birdie chow.

Christmas dinner will consist of pieces of dried corn, millet, peanuts and sunflower seeds shaped into large squares with fat drippings and lard. Served in suet feeders. Plus, corn, millet, and sunflower seeds in feeders purchased from Wally World.

The invited quests are several types of woodpeckers, chickadees, titmouse, nuthatches, cardinals, many types of sparrows, doves, blue jays, and from foreign lands we expect English sparrows and a few starlings. Wow, I better get busy there is a crowd expected.

I think the muse is practicing rhyming.

Christmas Peace by the hand of Apondia
