Ode To The Sparrow Poem by Jimi Doyle

Ode To The Sparrow

Rating: 5.0


a hop, a flip, and
a circus of flight

little brown bird

white brown, black brown, spotted brown

maybe sparrow-brown is the color for humility...

sparrow, i saw you raking through horse crap
for a meadow seed.

maybe sparrow-brown is the color for courage...

sparrow, i saw you flirting past Tyrannosaurus Rex
(past a city pigeon) for a city crust of bread.

maybe sparrow-brown is the color for joy...

sparrow, i saw you jumping through the
stone yard in vesper song.

'a hop, a flip, and a circus of flight...' A lovely, little portrait in motion of a lovely, little bird. Thanks for sharing.
