My neighbor hammers
tap, TAP, tap.
He's hanging hooks
for Christmas lights
to his house eaves.
A Gila Woodpecker
pauses
on the Mesquite tree,
filled with curiosity.
Together they make
a hammered symphony
tap, TAP, tap,
tap, TAP, tap.
A Gila Woodpecker is a pretty bird with a checkered tuxedo coat and a small red beret for a hat. They make holes in the Saguaros so other birds can make homes inside the cacti. To make this music took two voices--my neighbor's hammer and the Gila Woodpecker.
Your poetry challenge for today is to write a poem about something that takes two (or more) to get it done. In your poem let us know who they are and what each needs to do. Have fun writing.
A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men. Roald Dahl

CHORUS
A bird symphony
surrounds
red of cardinal
and gila wood pecker
blue of jay
purple and yellow finch
rosy pink of dove
brown quail and cactus wren
gray of a mocking bird
voices swirl
trill high
sing deep
some tap a beat
the music lifts
pulls my head
higher, higher
makes me feel
like I just might
Y!
