Out My WIndow


Out side my window
Dark and dreary
Nothing stirs
But the wind.

No birds on the feeder
No birds in the bath
No birds in the air
Just the wind.

Branches sway
Leaves tumble
Whistling can be heard
Thanks to the wind.

Clouds skitter by
Wispy little ghosts
Moving ever so quickly
On the tails of the wind.

Tomorrow a new day will break
The sun will come out
The birds will sing, eat and bath
Accompanied by the wind.

  2. There is nothing quite like birds feeding, singing to greet each new day. This is a little ray of hope.

  4. I agree that it feels sad and empty when the birds have all gone! We'll be glad when those days are behind us.

  9. Isn't it amazing how something as small as a bird can make such a difference in a day?

    I like the repetition of wind in this piece...moves the poem along quite nicely.

  13. ahh..the wind, be it strong or ever so soft, it is a big component of what we see outside our windows...only it's not in the view...we can only feel and hear it...good write!
