A Cardinal Outside My Window

There’s a cardinal outside my window

who doesn’t seem to see

that he is outside while I am in

though it’s pretty clear to me.

He is looking for a place to go

to rest his weary wings

so I’ll I sit upon my rocking chair

while he perches there and sings.

There such beautiful little creatures. :)
This poem is so much fun and flows with such perfection.

I saw two pidgeons starting to nest outside my window...their cooing woke me up every single morning. Then all of a sudden, they were gone and haven't returned. I also had a family of squirrels underneath my shed, which I haven't seen in a few days. I think when they came out and took some stretches, they knew they were able to leave the nest on their own. ; ( I got some really great shots of them, though!

I used to see cardinals back east, but I've never seen one here on the west coast. They are such lovely birds...I just want to stand in awe of them, don't you?

Isn't nature wonderful! What a privilege to have pigeons nesting as well as squirrels. Yes, cardinals are so aweinspiring. It was a sight to behold and I had wished I would have had my camera :-)

I love watching birds perch, soar and dive. I love diving in your poetic mastery...:)............

Birds are fascinating and I always feel it is such a privilege to have one land near by long enough for me to get a good look. Your words of support are very warming to the heart. Thank you!

[Sami Khalil]

Yep. You are welcome...:)...................

Delightful. I love to watch birds, too, and am always tickled when I see a cardinal. Just yesterday, a pretty one joined in with the sparrows who pecked at the seeds I spread across the patio.

They are so beautiful and the red color is just brilliant. The day one decided to perch on my front porch seemed to be a good omen :-) Thank you for stopping by!

Thanks so much Marilyn! The idea came to me one day while I watched a cardinal land on my front porch. They are so beautiful!

What a beautiful view from your chair Dara. I love the sing-song rhyme, which gives your words such a lovely flow. A gorgeous poem my friend, as I've come to expect from you.

Thank you very much Julie! We are fortunate that they are so plentiful in North Carolina. They are inspiring to view.
