Sharing my breakfast with a nuthatch.

A chapter in the book For the Birds

Raisin Bread

by mermaids

raisin bread
my morning meal
consumed in delight
energy for the day

crusts and ends
broken into pieces
a feeder full
to waste not

hungry nuthatch
swoops down
his treat is
twice his size

breakfast for the
spirits of heaven
God is pleased
with my sharing

the wistful bird
with bread in beak
flies off with ease
treat for the day


nourishing this
morning visitor
feathers and wings
flight of fulfillment
large soul in small bird



Recognized


I broke up some leftover raisin bread the other day, placed it in the birdfeeder and was amazed how this nuthatch would put a large piece of it in his beak, then fly away.
