Conversation with a Franklin Grouse

Sitting high,
upon a weather-beaten stump.
is a Franklin grouse.
A unique friend!
This I do not deny.
Face to face, Frankie begins to
speak.
Listening to, Mother Nature's
voice, flowing.
Through this Franklin grouse,
I agree.
With the serene beauty,
that Mother Nature is showing.
In which we are each free.
My feathered friend,
is dressed in splendid beauty.
Which I behold.
Frankie's neck, face, and crown,
are flecked in yellow.
Modeled breast, with a short
cropped tail.
We have eye to eye contact.
This Franklin grouse speaks,
ever so bold.
Our conversation revolves,
around Mother Nature's love.
In which we have each been graced.
After conversing, for quite awhile,
This Franklin grouse, ruffles its
feathers,
and with a bird's eye view,
gives me a wilderness smile.
Arching its wings,
Frankie says, I love you.
Then into the treetops,
this feathered friend of mine
glides.
Drawn deeper into Nature.
Through a Franklin grouse's
conversation.
Unique? Yes! And quite simply,
most rewarding and divine.
