A Poem
The King Of My Yard

Last year a Scrub Jay
Owned my yard
For any other birds to enter
It was definitely hard

He was diligent
In protecting his brood
Nothing for him but the best
Would ever do

My bird feeders were empty
Most of that month
He kept all the birds away
They would not even
Stop for lunch

He wore himself ragged
Overtime
He never gave up
His work was
Sublime

I wondered if this year
Would he raise his brood here
Would he take on that major task
To keep my yard clear

Too many bird feeders
Are hard to protect
Will he settle for
A little more quiet
And little more rest

He decided a better choice
Was to brood them nearby
It was not so exhausting
It would give him time
For a little breath and a sigh

I knew right away
On this particular day
When three of them flew in
I saw two fledglings with him

It was as if he announced them
As they arrived
They were in perfect health
No one could deny

He looked much better
Than he had the year before
He was not tattered and torn
It helped to find that quiet yard
Down a few doors

It tickled me pink
When I saw his new brood
I remember back when
He was that age too

It was fun to watch him
Wean his young
He perched on my weather vane
As his eyes glistened
In the sun

He still is the king
Of my yard
He just made his life
A little less hard

The fledglings
Are getting to know me
To build a little trust
No more need for
Dad's guidance
Independence
Is a must

A Long Ago Poem of the 1800's
For The Companion

1. What pleasant hours, we have past;
What golden tints o’er mem’ry cast
Of days long gone, too bright to last,
When, on some dark, and dreary day,
We’ve vainly tried to chase away!
“Mid gath’ring gloom, and fell decay
The dullness, that oppressed us;
When to the garret, we have nied,
And in some corner, have espied
A chest, with lid soon opened wide,
Its antique treasures, strewn about,
All gloom dispelled as quite shut out,
For something to amuse us!

2. There comes a package, old and gray,
In darkness, hid, for any a day,
Recalling scenes, long past away.
And bringing up from mem’ry well
Many a thought, we may not tell
Of cherished friends remembered well
With sadness stealing o’er us.
The ribbon, faded out, and old,
Half hid, with dust, and stiff with mold,
Is soon removed, and we’ve unrolled
The package, with its time worn look,
All dim, and blurred, like some old book,
And borne it to some cosey nook,
At leisure to peruse it.

3. There comes a letter from a friend
What varied scenes together blend!
As through times labyrinth, we wend,
And see again, the dear old place,
Made bright by many a cheerful face,
Recalled to mind by gentle Grace,
The dear schoolmate, that wrote it,
Again we to the missive turn,
And clasp the flowers in mem’ry’s urn!
Life’s saddest lesson, we must learn,
As slowly, we review it,
We see again, our darling Belle,
With sunny smile, we loved so well,
Our deepest grief, no words, can tell,
The rests in yonders tomb!

4. Here comes another, not so sad,
Twins from an honest country lad,
You smile! ‘Twas all the one I had
He gave to me, one morning bright,
As we tripped o’er the snow so white
Just as the school-house hove in sight,
I smilingly received it,
My cheeks grew rosy, as I read,
My “Dearest Bess”, the billet said!
When will you ride on my new sled?
You are the sweetest girl, I know;
And if you like, I’ll be your beau,
And draw you safely o’er the snow,
Then why should I refuse it?
