ODE OF APPRECIATION � Lary ([email protected]) How innocent and shy you are; so unaware of joys you bring on flurried wings. I watch in awe at how you zero in, arrive light-footed on your landing perch. You jostle for more feeding space and flutter through my balcony with casual grace. Your swoop-and-dart delivery of chirps and trills can spark the dullest day and raise my musty thoughts to fresher heights. I am your servant, yet you show no sign of recognition, for you do not care who fills your plate -- you only know it's there. I smile, because the gratitude is mine. � Laryalee Fraser Along Poetry Creek http://www.sunwave.net/~laryalee/home.htm This page hosted by Get your own Free Home Page Free search engine submission and placement services!
