Bird life in October - poems

HAIKU
cardinal
'chits' from the far end
of the porch
~~~

robin
at the birdbath
but only for a drink
~~~

mockingbird
chasing a robin
from the birdbath
~~~

red-headed woodpecker--
its morning drink
where I can see                                 
~~~

TANKA
bluejay
squawking
from a beautyberry limb--
   calling kin to water
   or warning foes away?

  1. Lines and pictures both beautiful this morning!!! You're right, robins are coming in for a drink but that is all. Ours have not used bird baths this wet summer, but now are coming in for a quick drink.
