The Birds’ Spot
With my eyes shining full of
jubilance.
I stop and look at a cozy area,
somehow more intriguing than the rest.
Why not investigate? I curiously
thought.
My ponderings swirled in and around
my mind.
Then, quickly and suddenly!
An idea struck the spot!
It’s almost too good to be true, but
The area’s perfect for a dear family
of birds.
They chirp all day long joyfully,
uttering their carefree comments,
As if nothing else mattered in the
world.
The soft, lush grass,
And the crunchy vegetation would be
the floor.
The broad, emerald leaves of the
majestic oak,
Intertwined with gossamer threads of
spider silk,
Is surely the canopy.
Here comes the parasite chandelier,
Looking exactly like an old man’s
beard.
Now here’s the main part!
The unique and glorious birdfeeder,
along with a rustic birdbath,
Take up the oasis in hardworking
life.
Mouthwatering grain and refreshing,
luscious water,
Is probably a good meal or snack.
Oh, how soothing it must be!
Set against a backdrop of sun and
trees.
It’s a birds’ dining room, fit for
royalty!
I shove out all the other needless
thoughts,
They won’t spoil or ruin my mood.
Even though my imaginative idea is
too good to be true.
