Birds Singing at Dawn

April 4, 2018 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

The day’s beginning
With amazing potential
Bird’s singing at dawn

Early morning with birds singing boldly. I’m not quite ready to leave the comfort of bed and blankets. The sky slowly lightens, second by second.

Birds Awakened 

April 1, 2018April 1, 2018 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

This morning’s still dark
Abrupt noise into silence
Birds have awakened

This morning’s first birdsong came while I was dosing. Jarring enough to yank my attention. Does the first bird to speak get the early worm? Ot, perhaps, he gets the girl?

Upon the spring breeze
Birds dancing gracefully skyward
The sunlit swallow

Hummingbirds, Life, Death

February 28, 2018 Carl Setzer2 Comments

​

I watch a hummingbird

And wonder about time 

Are we only allowed 

A specific number 

Of heartbeats?

The Great Blue Heron

This gangly bird
Inelegant legs, bearing
Ghost upon the marsh

​This sky is still dark

The air erupting with sound

Blessed by these birds

In the dark pre-Dawn

All the birds now come to life

A view from my commute

​Within the hard rain 

Atop steel tree; watching 

A hawk sits, hungry
