A Bird

Photograph by Gypsie-Ami Offenbacher-Ferris

Flew down from a tree
diseased
He lit upon my birdbath
blue

His head remained on a
swivel
Danger lurked with each manic
turn

Up and down the birds head
bobbed
Watching alertly slipping into the
pond

It dipped into the chill water and
out
Watching and listening to every
sound

Two then three dips did he
take
Shook out his tail-feathers until
dry

Away he went into a tree
diseased
Away from my lovely bird-bath
blue

    Lovely bird. It’s a cardinal isn’t it? I’ve only seen pictures.
