Two Robins


She sits quietly

warming a clutch of blue eggs

waiting for hatchlings—



He sits in a nearby spruce

singing her a love song

-Linda Kulp Trout

    So sweet...the clutch, the sitting and the love song. You are a fortunate window watcher.

      Thank you, Linda. I love staring out the window, but I always wonder if my human neighbors think I'm spying on them. : )

      Thank you, Bridget. I wondered if the robin sitting nearby was the papa, so I did some research and found that the male robin does that. : )

    Lovely.

    That look in her eye in the photo...is she listening to his song, or wondering when he'll bring her a snack?!? :-)

    Beautiful love poem, Linda! I don't know where the robin is nesting, but I see them pecking around every day!
