Birds Poems
Paraphrase on Anacreon: Ode to the Swallow
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Thou indeed, little Swallow,
A sweet yearly comer.
Art building a hollow
New nest every summer.
And straight dost depart
Where no gazing can follow.
Past Memphis, down Nile!
Ay! but love all the while
Builds his nest in my heart,
Through the cold winter-weeks:

Swallows
by Ayatullah Nurjati
Swallow does not only describe aves or birds
He is the embodiment of a being who comes and visits this earth to provide benefits
From the towering coral duwur mountains to the sky that they have steady
Presented the beauty and exposure of nature that rises from the bottom of the ocean as a natural textbook
It is possible that history will not unravel the story and even become a fairy tale when the father or mother supports their children in bedtime.
The place where the swallow became endemic in the mountains seemed to unravel a folklore that at that time the consort of King Kartasura was sick and cured only by drinking a sponge which was none other than a swallow's nest.
Or is it really the image that has been attached to Adipati Surti as a hero and was forced to marry Suryawati because she was attracted to her beauty even though she was of a different nature?
Everyone was amazed by the elegant dance how this was reflected in real life
A Hilltop Frolic
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
picnic on a hill
swept by summer's breeze
birds float by with ease
joy among the blooms
old fashioned perfumes
green everywhere
gold in our hair
soft bluebell skies
and whim's surprise

A Bang Up Sunset
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Gold birds at sunset
gliding ribbons of color
crowned by falling night
Far off visions in blooms lure
Beneath red firecracker stars
Cream moon's following
with determined velvet light
aiding dusky plight
Cherry red before they bed

A Burgundy Sign
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Fruits of a long day
black cherries in sundown skies
Then deep purple night
We've long loved the sun
but now greet dusky shadows
The platinum moon
sends rich luster from afar
in the wild rose phase
The birds have not sung lately

Bird Drama
by Joe Cyr
(blank verse)
While sitting in a waiting room one day
I watched a dramatic scene of nature
A drama of primal savagery.
A large crow, was perched atop a lamp post
fixed to the roof of a parking garage.
The bird's activity was not distinct

Dialogue: The Bird and the Parrot
by Aditi Hayaran
The Parrot in the Cage:
"Oh, bird," the parrot in its cage did say,
"Unlatch this door, and set me free today.
I'm trapped within these bars,
confined, you see,
Release me to the skies, so I can be."
The Bird’s Reply:
From off her perch, the bird did sweetly sing,
"What kind of life do you so richly bring?

The Noble Raven. (Part One)
by Laurence Argyll Simon Noond
Perched high on his rocky throne,
The Lord of all Crows stands alone.
"The Raven" shrouded in mystery.
"The Raven" revered through history.
The Peregrine to the Raven is no match,
The Peregrine cannot the Raven catch.
The Raven will turn on his back!
Avoiding the Peregrine`s fearful attack.

After Fresh Silver Raindrops
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Colors now shimmer in golden, backlit mist
where blue hydrangeas and red roses coexist
Purples and oranges adore a fresh morning.
Flighty trouble has, at last, gone away, riled
Since the mellow hour, my sunshine smiled
The green and pink birds are finally soaring!
Naturally, nature must love beauty so much
To shower flowers with silver, gold and such

MEEP MEEP
by Kevin Schroeder
MEEP MEEP
In the dark where shadows creep,
The woodcocks call with a peep
Meep Meep
Seductively doing their dance,
That puts you in a trance,
