Ode to Honeyeaters Written on July 22, 2015, for the April 8 entry of 366 Days of Poetry , this piece was written while I was sitting in an atrium outside a lecture hall. In the rain, outside, a honeyeater was feeding on an early-blooming bottlebrush, calling as it did so. It was also an experiment with form. The birds call. The sounds fall, snip, snip, snipping through the day. Honey-eaters, nectar seekers, by blossoms quarrel, flit, and stay. Olive-backed, black mask, bright beak, yellow as the dawning sun. Raucous fellows, snip-song telling all of us the day’s begun. Cover art is by Jake at JCaleb Design, and links to 366 Days of Poetry can be found on Books2Read at: https://books2read.com/u/3n2Yv9
