Listen - The Wild Birds at the Feeder Or read the Poem:
The Wild Birds at the Feeder
The first chilly morning
Of the season
I expected everyone
To be snuggled up keeping warm
Instead there is activity
All around
The sun was out
Without any signs of a storm
It was almost as if
Chilly equates to energy
The wild birds at the feeder
Were eating breakfast quite happily
The canary's song
Rings loud and clear
All the little birds chattering
Is music to my ears
The Scrub Jay arrives
On the scene
He announces himself loudly
He does not have to scream
The Hummingbirds pay him
No mind
They zoom in and out
It is too early for the sun
To make their feathers iridescent
Or glitter and shine
Even though the nectar feeder
Seats more than three
One at a time eat
As the Hummingbird
Chases the others up in the tree
A little while later
To my surprise
Two Anna Hummingbirds
Ate together
Right before my very eyes
This is not typical
Behavior for them
I feel happy watching
These sweet little gems

Or read the Poem:
The Threatening Dark Clouds
The morning feels a
bit eerie
The rain is only a mist
The threatening dark clouds
Promise much more than this
The Coopers Hawk arrives
He shakes the rain off of his feathers
You can count on him coming by
No matter what the weather
The wild birds
Will not come by
They will wait
Until the hawk leaves
For the sky

Time is of the Essence Too
Jewel lost his leg
To a hawk
He had a will
For life
That would not stop
Here he is
In all of his health
On a branch so high
Carefree like nothing else
How do you suppose
That he will do
It all depends
On who will find him
Time is of the essence too

In the Spring Take
a Walk
Watch for New Baby Birds Audio Poem Click to Listen - Little
Peeps
Or read the Poem:
Little Peeps
When you see
Baby birds everywhere
You can tell that
Spring is here
Momma gives
The warning sounds
Her babies listen
As they are bound
She feeds the babies
She keeps them warm
She keeps them dry
If it storms
Little peeps
Is what I hear
The peeping stops
When I come near
To raise them right
Is part of her charm
She will keep them safe
From harm
Sometimes the Dad
Helps to feed the young
Watching the babies
Is a lot of fun Connie S. Soto

Can We Imagine 300
Years Ago Audio Poem Click to Listen - A
Nanny or a Kid
Or read the Poem:
A Nanny or a Kid
Did you ever wonder why
Children are called kids
After all
A baby goat
Is really a kid
Did you ever wonder why
A sitter is called a nanny
After all
A Momma goat
Is really a nanny
Is it just slang
Or a metaphor
After all
It has been around
For three hundred years or more
The sound of a baby goat
Was compared to
The sound of a child's cries
Baby goats are so very cute
Children are too
This is no surprise
Society is left
Sharing these names
Whether it is
A nanny or a kid
It is
All the same Connie S.

Always Listen To Your Instincts Audio Poem Click to Listen
- Intuition Is a Gift
Or read the Poem:
Intuition Is a Gift
Intuition is the feeling
From unconscious information
In our brain
The subconscious sends signals
Through our nerves
Which sometimes are hard to explain
We are wise to listen
To subconscious feelings
It can bridge the gap
Between experience and analytical thinking
The brain automatically updates
Before it can reach your conscious awareness
But analytical thinking takes time
Intuition is a gift that is tremendous
Thoughts that we act upon
Do not always have to be deliberate or rational
We can depend on that gut feeling
It is typically infallible
To know without knowing why
Are the emotions that make us feel connected
Listen to our instincts
It is how we have always survived

At A Time Audio Poem Click to Listen
- The Younger Generation
Or read the Poem:
The Younger Generation
Time has changed
From each generation
To the next
Kids spent more time
To play outside
Now mostly they text
Less face time
Provides less interaction
Virtual reality will be normal
To the new generation
A higher education
Will help them do their best
Jobs without it
Will most likely pay less
Leaving home takes longer
For the younger generation
Part of the reason
Is the cost of inflation
A passion for reading
Is getting lost
It is sad because it is
Too great a cost
Humans could not function
Without change
Hopefully society adopts the ones
That is not too strange Connie S.

Waddles, A Lone Duck Audio Poem Click to Listen - A Sense
of Purpose
Or read the Poem:
A Sense of Purpose
Never under estimate
Your place in the work world
Retirement
Is a huge transition
Freedom from work means
You can fully appreciate
Your new mission
When you worked
Human contact was automatic
When you retire
Creating connections
Is not that automatic
Your colleague's world
Still revolves around work
They are not always friends
Pressure, stress and meetings for you
Came to an end
A spouse does not fill
The social connection
A sense of purpose
Is your new question
Change occurs
Your entire life
In retirement loss of the familiar
Can produce feelings of strife
Anxiety and depression is common
Who you are is changing
Private time is objective
Loneliness is a powerful feeling
Nurture your relationships
A little peace is ideal
Starting over will help define you
Removing the detachment you feel
Social media is not
A substitute for loneliness
Real social connections are critical
To remove feelings of emptiness
You waited for free time without commitments
Now life can have more meaning
Purpose helps find your identity
Never stop growing
To have someone to trust
Is imperative
Keeping connected
Is an important prerogative
Live life with passion
As if there is no tomorrow
Treasure each day
Can bring happiness
Not sorrow Connie S.

Veena Kitty, Is Part
of My Family Audio Poem Click to Listen - Learn To Accept Family
Or read the Poem:
Learn To Accept Family
Sometimes adult children and parents
Do not get along
The first thing a parent thinks
Is what did they do wrong
This is not the case
Parents are human
They make mistakes
Children make their own choices
They are who they are
To view their childhood with compassion
Is better by far
Your upbringing is where you came from
Whether it was good or bad
To accept the reality of what it was
Doesn't have to be sad
We see the world more clearly
When we deal with our thoughts and feelings
Try not to let our emotions get the better of us
Life does have more meaning
Obstacles in life
Come and go
To be resilient
Is how we stretch and grow
Remember it is always okay
To agree
To disagree
It is human to feel anger
But it is important to listen
To let anger ruin a relationship
Is a difficult lesson
Anger feels demeaning
And condescending
Feeling as though you are being judged
Is so distressing
When you care
The rational mind
Helps to forgive
When we value someone
We need
To be supportive
Learn to accept family
They are who they are
Help them to accept you
You are who you are Connie S.

Even a Kitty Can
Reach For the Stars!Audio Poem Click to Listen
- Reach For the Stars
Or read the Poem:
Reach For the Stars
Attitude comes from upbringing
And
Attitude comes from experience
The result of the decisions we make
Comes from our attitude
We can change or alter our lives
Because of our attitude
A negative attitude can talk us into negative results
It can be a bit destructive or define our faults
A negative attitude can limit your success
A positive attitude is necessary for success
A positive attitude can help you stretch and grow
After all we do reap what we sow
Either a negative or positive attitude cannot stop
Bad things from happening
But a positive outcome
Can come from positive thinking
Challenges bring opportunities to reach
Toward your milestones
You can control your attitude
Even if fear is based on the unknown
You can choose how to respond
Even if you cannot control
What comes your way
Your survival depends on your ability
To work through hard times anyway
If you don't take chances
Opportunities will not come your way
If you think you can accomplish something
You will find a way
To focus on what is good
Makes you appreciate what you have
Integrity and a positive attitude
Can help even when things get bad
Success
Never comes overnight
Motivation and a can-do attitude
Will help you get it right
When things get difficult
Resilience helps you adapt
Working through things
Means that you are on the right track
When you control your attitude
You make of best of every situation
Learning to work through your emotions
Can be your foundation
A better quality of life is possible
If you believe in yourself you will go far
To keep a positive attitude
Can help you to reach for the stars

Life is One Day at a Time Audio Poem Click to Listen
- Peace of Mind
Or read the Poem:
Peace of Mind
To wake up early
To see the sun rise
Is a great way
To start the day
Spring flowers are in bloom
Despite the chilly nights
The days are getting longer
The weather feels just right
I can feel a slight breeze
In the air
I can see the hummingbirds
Looking for nectar to share
Some trees are filled with blossoms
The leaves are close behind
I hear chatter from the bird feeder
It gives me peace of mind
Come rain or shine
Appreciate each day
Life is a gift to treasure
It is the only way

Freedom is Important Audio Poem Click to Listen
- Human Culture Is Complex
Or read the Poem:
Human Culture Is Complex
America is changing
We are no longer one culture
One language or one American nationality
Are we becoming fractured
Due to racial diversity
We were strong
As one nation and one people
We were free
Under the constitution
Change sometimes happens
Before evolution can adjust
Adaptive adjustments and communication
Is a must
Our culture
Is part of our evolution
Our history makes a difference
It is part of the present
Human culture is complex
What we believe
Is psychological
The acquisition to share knowledge
Is possible
Through our eyes
The world is focused from experience
Within our minds
What we strive for
Can make a difference
The need to conform can be greater
Than personal opinion or experience
To adapt seems crucial
Even if it means obedience
Conformity is a human trait
It varies across different cultures
Language provides the ability
To comprehend the beliefs of others
Money has a strong tendency
To rule
Common goals tend
To bind us together
Shared knowledge is a key
For unity
What is diversity
Will it keep us free

A Sense of Wonder
A child's world is innocent
Everything is new
Learning about the world
Is awe inspiring too
Whether you are a child or an adult
A sense of wonder is amazing
Remember, you are unique
From the very beginning
To feel a sense of belonging
Is a fundamental need
A meaningful existence
Is what life ought to be
Believe in yourself
Strengthen your connection to others
To be who, you are
Reach for a sense of wonder
As we learn we gain knowledge
We never stop learning
Curiosity, along with the little things matter
Life is always changing
Beyond our own creativity
What is the sense of wonder
Sometimes it can be Mother Nature
In all of its splendor
Never stop questioning
Open your mind and look around
Life is full of mystery
You never know what can be found
Appreciate life
A sense of wonder
Is the beginning of wisdom
Savor every moment
After all
It is your decision

- The Endless Mystery of the Sense of Wonder
Or read the Poem:
The Endless Mystery of the Sense of Wonder
To wonder provides insight
Curiosity makes us explore
Creativity is the key
That can open the door
Basic knowledge helps us
To interpret and understand
Every day is different
It is important to do what you can
Be the one who makes things happen
Choose which way to go
Life is always changing
No matter what you know
Never be so pre-occupied
That you miss the experience of wonder
Cell phones detract from reality
You might even miss hearing thunder
The endless mystery of the sense of wonder
Makes us feel complete
Your journey throughout life
Shows that humans are unique
Nothing should stop you
From wondering why
A positive attitude
Makes it feel great to be alive
Reassess your options
If something feels wrong
Logic will help you
To get along
To achieve happiness
Take one step at a time
Believe in yourself
You know you can shine
Even though yesterday is gone
You feel as though your life is full of wonder
Tomorrow is a fleeting thought
Today is what you need to treasure
Open your mind
Wonder is part of who we are
Never forget
Mother Nature is the star
Even though there is no one
Quite like me
One of a kind is what
I would rather be
