Red winged blackbird

You sat on the 

Fence 

As I walked 

By.

I actually

Stopped

Because 

Of 

Your 

Beauty.

You

Are 

All black

Except 

For

Some

Red and yellow 

Markings

On your 

Wing.

I get 

As close 

As I can.

I stand 

Not moving. 

Trying

Not to 

Breath.

You 

Look

At me and

Whistle 

And tweet.

I whistle

Back.

You wait 

A brief

Second. 

You fly 

My way 

And perch 

On 

My 

Arm.

I do not 

Want to move.

If I do 

You will 

Fly away.

I stand 

I wait 

I whistle 

To you. 

You jump

On my

Shoulder.

My heart 

Is beating 

Hard.

I do not 

Want this 

Moment 

To end.

You whistle

And tweet

And fly 

Away. 

You are

A red winged 

Blackbird.  

I do believe 

We had 

A conversation.

You left 

Me with 

A song.

And 

So I

Sing.
