What will you notice today

what will you see, hear...

This poem was inspired by one of my runs about a month ago. I was so excited to see the red-winged blackbirds flying about and even happier that I slowed down to notice their behavior. I had no idea when they let out their birdsong their wings puff out—so cool!

Poem of the Day:

                PAY ATTENTION 

Run the trail 
I look left—
what caught my eye
a red winged blackbird 
flying bye. 

Lands low
Black wings puff out—Big
He looks enormous
I say. 

Birdsong proud 
I stop, stare
amazed—

I'm 42 
just noticed now
how the 
red-wing blackbird
shows up in the world
to sing 

I wonder—
What else I will 
learn if I only 
slow down.
