| Posted by Bruce W Niedt on 07/05/06 at 01:27 AM Wonderful, whimsical verse, as usual. The baby bird with the morning glory "hat" is fanciful but memorable. If it's okay, I'll PM you about tightening up the meter on this.... d:-) |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 07/05/06 at 03:00 AM Delightful - from the morning glory hat to the wings beating against thunderstorms. Very nice finish. Thank you! |

| Posted by Elizabeth Jill on 07/07/06 at 01:18 AM I love everything you write. I kick the clock that sets my hours - out the nest, O'clock! I want Mary Ellen everyday - want her chirping on the branches of my ol' Oak Tree...
You are a dream of a poet. This is another blue ribbon! —Jill |
| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 07/08/06 at 04:13 PM Very sweet and insightful poem... I have watched the nests and leaving--at close range (once over our entry walk) and many times on our balcony, a nest) and it is an amazing process of nature...
I love your line "Former babies everywhere
Are filling up the summer air." This knowledge of the unseen and unidentified ongoing--- as happening (in a rich way) simulataneous to all else is thrilling...and flight inducing!

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 08/07/06 at 05:15 AM I love birds, so this one is especially delightful to me. The rhymes made it fun to read and added to the lightness of their flight. Thanks for showcasing your still-alive little girl inside. |

| Posted by Jean Mollett on 01/23/07 at 07:41 AM Hi Mary Ellen,
This is so and precious. I have gotten to watch the birds as well. On my front porch in the corner of the roof cover over the porch. It's wonderful to watch. I saw quite a few sets of birds and their babies. Great write.
