Birding at the Dairy (Sidney Wade)

Birding at the Dairy by Sidney Wade

This poem is simple in scope, but uses such rich language and images that the culmination is very powerful. It's also calming, in the way that viewing a natural scene can be.

I like the many couplets that make up this poem. Two wings, perhaps. I like their simplicity and grandeur. Really, a great way to form the stanzas in this poem - gives a clue as to what the point/feel of the whole thing is.

Favorite line: "a murmuration / of birds"
