Yay it’s finally Friday!
Yesterday’s weather was beautiful and the birds were having a wonderful time so I have chosen a poem that is about birds!
This poem is by one of my favourite poets Emily Dickinson.
A Bird Came Down the Walk
A Bird came down the Walk –
He did not know I saw –
He bit an Angleworm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw,
And then he drank a Dew
From a convenient Grass –
And then hopped sidewise to the Wall
To let a Beetle pass –
He glanced with rapid eyes
That hurried all around –
They looked like frightened Beads, I thought –
He stirred his Velvet Head
Like one in danger, Cautious,
I offered him a Crumb
And he unrolled his feathers
And rowed him softer home –
Than Oars divide the Ocean,
Too silver for a seam –
Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon
Leap, plashless as they swim.
Emily Dickinson
Have a good weekend!
p.s the only pictures of birds I have are either ducks or chickens for some reason, so hope you enjoy the duck picture!
