Poem in a poem

A little brown wren
has come to warble
nesting
by my window

becoming my view

taking a fancy
to our fancy bird house
dangling from the eave.

A little brown wren
has come to catch my eye
as she darts in
flits out

and about

Two of them take turns
entertaining me

Poem in a poem:

....Scissors

Don't try
To lip read birds

For the songs twittered
are tied to air
not beak

the composition heard
of heaven
Not earth
