The Sparrow's Nest
by: William Wordsworth (1770-1850)
Behold, within the leafy shade,
Those bright blue eggs together laid!
On me the chance-discovered sight
Gleamed like a vision of delight.
I started—seeming to espy
The home and sheltered bed,
The Sparrow's dwelling, which, hard by
My Father's house, in wet or dry
My sister Emmeline and I
Together visited.
She looked at it and seemed to fear it;
Dreading, tho' wishing, to be near it:
Such heart was in her, being then
A little Prattler among men.
The Blessing of my later years
Was with me when a boy:
She gave me eyes, she gave me ears;
And humble cares, and delicate fears;
A heart, the fountain of sweet tears;
And love, and thought, and joy.

The Humming Bird
© Brandon S. Hesse
The rain has stopped,
And daylight delays.
The night is calm;
And anticipates its rays.
As morning breaks through,
Like a deer thru the hedge;
She is already found
At a rose petal's edge.
Such a simple life,
Portrayed in such hurry.
Though its all in a day's work;
There is no time for her to worry.
Gathering nectar for food,
Her song she plays loud.
Though merely a result of her flight,
Her song she plays proud!
So the next time you see her,
Don't say a single word.
For you will have just missed
The song of the Humming Bird!

Another haiku from me...
Vista before me
I raise, align and focus
Now enjoy the view

Shepherds pie in the oven...
La la la la la... Wish mine would cook quicker
Wow! A shepherds pie and two Haiku in half an hour. Did you bind and gag the kids?
He he he - with a friend round for tea they entertain themselves quite well... Had to make two pies one with meat and one veggie version
