beating heart quivers
on my hand gently and fast —

| Writing Prompt |
Write a 5-7-5 about any kind of real bird species. |
Author Notes
a 5/7/5 is a poem similar to haiku but the only rule is the syllable count and format.
Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful and colorful birds is the Painted Bunting. Look for this small multi-colored finch at your bird feeder and around the edges of dense brush and thick woodlands.
Painted Buntings nest and breed here from the middle of April through September. Some may stay throughout the winter but most of our birds go south to Florida and to the northwest Caribbean islands. These birds are part of the eastern population that occurs along the Atlantic coast from North Carolina to Florida. A second western population breeds in northern Mexico to northern Texas and winters in south-west Mexico.
