My Winter Feathered Friends

My Winter Feathered Friends
By Lisa Noe

I sit inside my warm home, all the while watching
the birds, in the frigid outdoors, feeding at my birdfeeder.
I see every breed you could imagine just sitting and eating.
They fly in from every place even from the large Cedar.

One of my favorites is the Red headed Woodpecker.
I love to hear the rat tat tat of their beak upon the wood.
My cats also notice and try their might to be killers.
I try to protect them by keeping cats indoors, I’ve tried all I could.

The white snow gently falls to the earth, that’s when I love the most.
The red bird contrasts the winter white like the keys upon a piano.
I watch the birds as I’m feeding them they sit upon a fence post.
They say he eats like a bird meaning little, but the bird eats like a hippo

When the chilly snow leaves and the springtime does arrive,
I see more birds come north and my feeder becomes more packed.
I see doves, cardinals, and blue Jays also, the winter they did survive.
Like a leaf tumbling to the ground, the birds are graceful as a ballet act.

The cone upon the head represents the male as does the color of the body.
Most people get perturbed because the birds use their vehicles to potty.
