About the Book

The world is filled with amazing things, if we will just stop a moment and take notice. In this vast universe, we are but tiny individuals, filled with awe and amazement. From reflections on first love, to reflections on growing old. The poems within these pages express a lifetime of unique reflections in Small Wonders.

I’m a Bird Watcher

Those of you who follow my blog, Writing to be Read, and in particular the “Tales from the Bird Sanctuary” blog series, know that I am a bird watcher. I am fascinated by the feathered friends, more and more each year, which visit my mountain yard, and I share my fascination through photos in the blog series. In Small Wonders, I also share it through my poetry, as my bird friends have been a great inspiration.

Roger Raven

Roger Raven was camera shy

Whenever he saw the small black box,

He’d take to the sky

His big black wings would beat the air

Ruffling up the camera lady’s hair

Then Heather Hummingbird came around

The lady pointed the box and Heather acted the clown

She swoop and flutter and hover about

Roger Raven gave her a shout

“Hey! Get out of there!” he said,

“That camera lady wants your head”

“Silly bird. She’ll make me a star.”

The picture appeared right before Roger’s eyes.

“When she prints my photo, I will go far.”

Roger Raven watched in awe.

“She’s captured you!” he said with a caw.

“Bird Watching” – an acrostic poem

An acrostic poem is one in which the first letter of each line spells out a word, usually the title of the poem. I’d like to share in a poetry reading, my acrostic poem, “Bird Watching”, from the Small Wonders collection. Please take a moment to give a listen. (If you like it, you can also subscribe to the WordCrafter YouTube channel.)
