Mistle Thrush
September 16, 2009
Storms a howling
On the coast
Dark as hell,
Yet ebbing .
On the fence
Sits Mistle Thrush
A speckled breast
And gray.
Lesser buff
Than sister Song,
But none the less
A fighter.
Sings for wind
And sings for rain,
Sings for snow
And thunder.
Mistle Thrush
Will strong perform
As long as there’s
A fury.
If only we
Were quite so wise
To sing when storms
Are threatening.

This poem has a great rhythm-- it's just asking to be read aloud! Good job!
