Ode to Mr. Bluebird

 Nature and Final Friday Feature

Ode to  Male Eastern Bluebird
July 25, 2025

 Mr. Bluebird
sitting on my window ledge,
staring into my house.
Tap, tap, taping on the glass.
Do you see a mouse
Perhaps you are trying say HI
from up in the sky.
When you get my attention, you
spread you wings...jump up
into the air and back down.
Be very careful my fine feathered friend,
it would make me frown.
If upon the ground, you were  found. 

The video is about 10 seconds. In beginning you can see his shadow

Music is from YouTube playing on my tv

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #220

  Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at

 Two Spoiled Cats



Here is this week's Photo Challenge 

 

Excuse Me Madam

My name is Owen D. Owl

I am a male air mail carrier

faster than greased lightning 

I'm wise and careful

I heard your mail delivery was hit or miss

MOSTLY MISS

This piece is past due

It is the thank you note from Will to you.

Owen D. Owl to you I say I am most thankful and this is why.

Back story

Thankful Thursday 

Will is the oldest child of two young folks I meet when they enrolled in NCSU at age 18.  I watched their relationship blossom. I attended their wedding and the baby showers for both their children. Will is a delightful young man I've known for all of his 18 years. He recently graduated from high school with honors. They live 3 or 4 miles from us.
Will's thank you note to us had quite the journey.  Informed mail service I receive via email told me it on the way.  It finally arrived.   I have never received a piece of mail with two post marks.  First one was in the standard place at the top by the stamp, second one was on the bottom under our address.
His Mom told many of the thank you notes he sent out are being returned with
"incorrect address" in fact the addresses are CORRECT.  They have to put each one in a new envelope and another stamp.  
Will is pursuing a college degree in sports medicine and nutrition and hopes to become a Physical Therapist

Play Date 

It was Dad's day to play

I had lots of plans and fun things on my list. 

He fell into a deep asleep

I fell into disgruntled dismay.

I wanted to color 

 I could not reach my crayons

So I used Mom's make up.

If he doesn't want to look like a dope,

he will need lots of soap.

Peep holes

Suspicious

Hanging pictures a nightmare

Perhaps I need to visit at least once

Girl Bands 

Jane played drums

Gertrude played key board

while counting the ceiling tiles.

Ethel, Lucy and Nell strummed

 on the  six stings with perfect timing.

Marian's vocals were sung with glee

Oh my, oh me no microphone 

did she need.
