The Sparrow Poem by Raymond Farrell

The Sparrow

Rating: 4.0


Not for beauty
or cunning
or swiftness in flight
but an everyday presence
and lust for life
have caused me
to love you

In the dead
of winter
I watched you
break open
ice-covered seed husks
while buffeted by Arctic winds
and my fire
for living
was rekindled.

Beautiful poem. The tiny bird with its agility and innocence is a pleasure to watch. Lovely drop.
