Exceptional An Essence Poem Little Poems : Junco Jargon by Treischel

It's not absurd you haven't heard. Is Junco not a winter bird? Author Notes This bird that is perched on the railing of my back porch is a Dark-eyed Junco. The best-known species of the Juncos, a genus of small grayish American sparrows. This bird is common across much of temperate North America and in summer ranges far into the Arctic. So, it is very much a winter bird. Adults generally have gray heads, necks, and breasts, gray backs and wings, and a white belly. They are the most common bird on my bird feeder in the winter, along with the Cardinal, and Chickadees. This poem is an Essence Poem. An Essence Poem consists of a poem with only two lines of six to eight syllables each. The two lines are rhyming couplets. Each line must also have at least one inline rhyme that rhymes somewhere with the other line, besides the end rhyme. There is no meter requirement. This photograph was taken by the author in April, 2013.
