Sharing my breakfast with a nuthatch.

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
|
Author Notes
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.
