One Deep Breath - Feathered Friends


Small, shy, appealing
Inconspicuous but brave
Heart tugged. Love blooms

oh Annie this is gorgeous! I can just see it as a piece of 'art' - a birdie collage with the words written somewhere. I love your haiku - it touches a spot xo

Beautiful, Annie. Is this a plover?

BTW, the little train was in Fort Worth, Texas, not Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Love ya, girl!

Annie Jeffries said...

Sioux - yes, this is a snowy plover. I fell in love with these little birds while in Oregon.

Fort Worth vs. Fort Wayne
I'm so bad. Just goes to show, we see what we want to see. LOL

I have about 30 birds, cocktiels, lovebirds, finches, parakeets, canaries red and yellow.
I love birds!

Yes, that puffy little bird really tugs at one's affection.

I adore plovers. We have a type which inhabits the shores of high mountain lakes in the summer. You've captured it so well in your poem.

This is a new bird for me, and I love it! Your poem expresses exactly what it looks like.
