..red grosbeak eats at the bottom
purple, actually red,
finch sits quietly on top..
mere inches
from the lovely deep amethyst
butterfly laden
fluttering butterfly bush
hangs a copper bird feeder
always welcoming
songs,
and throngs
chickadee, sparrow, junco, wren,
rufous-sided towhee, bluejay
couple of squirrels too
amen...
all-day, almost
every day,
a chirping and a singing
sunflower seed flying
colors parade brigade
swirling around and roundabout...
this lively ballet within summer's heat
inspires any day to become
a sweet treat..
sighing
my gratitude is infinite
for incidents of grace...
