Never in my life have I attempted to write poetry; however I am currently enjoying trying.

~Bird Life at the Beach-Sanderling~

14 Comments

Sanderling are tiny little beings, some just call them “peeps”,

seen running on the beach, toward the rolling surf,

feeding in the seconds, before a breaking wave, 

then retreating fast, toward the shore,

living in the pull, of the seas’ ebb and flow,

surviving the hardships of their life’s dance,

 usually not given a second glance.

Sanderling
The waves go out; time to eat.
feeding in the seconds, before a breaking wave
Waves roll in, time to run.
then retreating fast, toward the shore
surviving the hardships of their life's dance
surviving the hardships of their life’s dance

Soaring, among the clouds,

riding, wind currants higher and higher,

circling, looking for prey,

gliding, enjoying the hunt,

diving, for the kill.

Look up you just might see,

a feathered friend perched in a tree,

eating, resting, preening,

always a pleasure for me.
