Another month is upon us, so this month we will be discovering the:

Is this a blue grosbeak – kind of finch?
This is a bit dark, but it’s a fantastic piece by Charles Bukowski called “Bluebird”
If you’re a Bukowski fan, you should like it
Such a sweet piece of art Marta! Thank you for allowing us to play off of it in poetic creationism!
An Oldie I love 🙂
the northern blooms
bring them back
by June
all summer long
you can hear
their tune
cascading down
before the leaves
turn brown

Not much but here goes…
Beautiful bluebird
on the limb
A beautiful song
you sing this morn
Putting a melody
in a heart once torn
Thank you for
the happiness you give
On this New
June morning

I love your artwork Martha , here is my poem called SING TO ME
Sing a love song to me my dear
I long to hear your sweet vioce in my ear
Now that winter is over and spring is finally here
Giving us natures beauty it’s my favorite time of year
To you I vow by your side I’ll always be
Only you could ever be the one that completes me
My love for you grows and is so strong
Everytime you sing your sweet love song
This is the reason I waited till last…I saw no reason to save the worst for first!
I’ll never again sit under a tree
with a Bluebird singing over me
Smack on the face was where I was hit
by something I sure was NOT birdspit.
My apologies to Marta
for this bad verse
I couldn’t think of anything better
but I could think of much worse!
I tried to behave…I really did!
Kudos with thumbs up left for all…loved the writes…love to you! :love:
I’m so honored Y’all, I’m blushing. Love each and every Writer and Friend here at the CPC. I’m going for groceries now, but Marta will be back!
Love Y’all! :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:
Marta, this is a lovely work of art!
A children’s poem by Dori Wheeler
VISION OF ART
Pretty little bluebird sitting on a limb
Bringing us joy, folly and whim
Your blue feathers bring us joy
Yet you’re unassuming and quite coy
I know you’re a male by the color of your wing
Male or female, you really know how to sing
Surrounded by red and pink flowers
Your arrival suggests spring showers
Once you were abundent, now more rare
Your lovely species needs more care
So nice to see you perched in a tree
Beautiful lil’ bird, oh so free
Your blue body compliments the red
A real treat to see, this I’ve said
You are nature’s vision of art
Stay for awhile, please don’t part
So nice to see you perched in a tree
Beautiful lil’ bird, oh so free!
DORI {05JUNE11}
*smiling* (((Dori))) Just a joy to read !!!! I do enjoy watching nature all around ~ almost as much as my cats do LMAO
Angels wings to Blue and flight
Sing to me tune of your plight
Seek a limb to seek the sight
Thank You CPC and MARTA.. a honor!
PRETTY BIRD
Blue bird
Sittin on a limb
Takin a break
In the cool breeze
Pretty flowers all around
Birds of a feather
All flock together
Yet some fly their own route
Some fly south for winter
Others stay and endure the storm
All of pretty colors
Some black even
But still
All birds flock together
At one time are another

“Untitled” by Marta
THE SWEETEST SONG
She sits upon the highest branch
up in the tallest tree,
the bluebird of my morning
so sweetly singing to me.
I hear her every morning
as she sings to greet the Dawn
and I’m one of the lucky ones
to awaken to her lovely song.
And as this day begins to end
and folds into the night,
as I begin to close my eyes,
I hear her once again,
the sweetest song of evening,
sung from the tallest tree,
the sweetest song the bluebird sings
sung from the highest branch,
her melody so distinct and clear
within evening’s muted light.
And the bluebird of my morning
who greets me at the Dawn,
sings the sweetest lullabies
within her evening song,
welcoming me to a world of dreams
as I visit them once again
as sweet as the lullabies she sings,
touching my heart once more
within the hushed twilight
her evening serenade.

BIRD
SITTING BLUE
I FEEL LIKE YOU
IM FEELING A BIT PECKISH
MY FEATHERS
QUITE BLUE
AS I SIT UPON MY BRANCH
LOOKING FOR THINGS
THAT ARE NEW
I THINK ABOUT THE DAY
SOME PEOPLE’S SKIES ARE GRAY
AND THEN I THINK OF YOUR
SIMPLE LIFE
AND PRAY TO GOD
OUT LOUD
OH LORD SET ME ON A BRANCH
TO SEE THE CLOUDS
UP HIGH
AND WHEN I HEAR THE BLUE BIRD’S
SONG
I WILL FORGET TO CRY
THANK YOU LITTLE BIRD
FOR THE JOY YOU GIVE MY HEART
SING TO THE MORNING
FLY INTO THE SKY
AND LET MY SPIRITS FLY
