Up And Up Poem by Leria Hawkins

Up and Up
Date: December 16,2012

A bird came down, to hop around
He stood but for a wink
Then fluttered past, to rolling grass
Twas gone in just a blink

Out to yonder field I saw
A 'settled in the haw
Picking berries from the stem,
Twas hopping to and fro

Beady eyes and painted breast
His wing as black as night
Regal in his rigid stance
My…a wondrous sight

Then up and up he flew again
On to distant fields
Up and up, away he flew
His voice a distant peal

A bird came down, to dance around
I reveled in his song
He came to me, for just a pause
And then he moved along
