An eastern bluebird
lost his way to Tucson,
sits on a dead twig
like he’s waiting on a ride
that ain’t coming.

This Blue-winged Bird 1 comment
Eastern Bluebird (August 8, 2012) Image by kenne
He had a blue wing tattooed on his shoulder
Well, it might have been a bluebird, I don’t know
But he’d get stone drunk and talk about Alaska
But he’d get stone drunk and talk about Alaska
The salmon boats and 45 below
He got that blue wing up in Walla Walla
Where his cellmate there was a Little Willy John
And Willie, he was once a great blues singer
And Wing & Willie wrote him up a song
Where his cellmate there was a Little Willy John
And Willie, he was once a great blues singer
And Wing & Willie wrote him up a song
(They sang,)
“It’s dark in here, can’t see the light
But I look at this blue wing when I close my eyes
And I fly away, beyond these walls
Up above the clouds, where the rain don’t fall
But I look at this blue wing when I close my eyes
And I fly away, beyond these walls
Up above the clouds, where the rain don’t fall
On a poor man’s dream”

Adult Male Eastern Bluebird — Photo-Artistry by kenne
The Eastern Bluebird is a small thrush with a big, rounded head, large eye, plump body, and alert posture.
The wings are long, but the tail and legs are fairly short. The bill is short and straight.
Male Eastern Bluebirds are vivid, deep blue above and rusty or brick-red on the throat and breast.
Blue in birds always depends on the light, and males often look plain gray-brown from a distance.

Being Content With Wakened Birds Leave a comment
Male Eastern Bluebird in Sabino Canyon — Image by kenne
She says, “I am content when wakened birds,
Before they fly, test the reality
Of misty fields, by their sweet questionings;
But when the birds are gone, and their warm fields
Return no more, where, then, is paradise?”

Free as a Bird
You may desire
to be free as a bird, not
understanding you’re proper
part within the whole,
meaning your ultimate destiny
is not in your hands, but
caught in a conflict
between the forces of
freedom and duty.
