blackbird, fly
::
with your heart on your sleeve
and your trill shrill call
that echoes
off glass reflecting
water walls
your piercing stare
that holds no secrets
your chitter chatter
that says nothing at all
you
carry the seasons
on your shiny
black back
as one heavy load
that you never
acknowledge

Beautiful, clever, and profound; a well-rounded sweet short song.
WoW … “off glass reflecting waterfalls” … always such a joy to read your words.
One of my favorite Beatles songs is “Blackbird”…I find myself humming the tune to myself as I looked at this page!
Is that a red winged black bird? Such beautiful words.
love the double L rhyming. it opens the door to this poem, and ends on a nice thought provoker at all that is carried…
Lovely. I especially like the carrying of the seasons.
Great imagery.
Wonderful words, and fantastic photograph!
