Robins Poem

I posted on FB about all the robins–and I’ve a written a poem for everyone who responded.

Robins

you wonder
about the number
of robins in town

are there suddenly more
red-breasted
looking good in the snow

one neighbor says
they’re all over
Bob Street

another hears them
singing and
fat

but no one
knows why
these iconic yet suburban

birds
have come to us
with their open hearts
