Poetry, Every now and then i get a little bit lonely when my friends don't come around

Very touching indeed. I hope they all come back someday; only if they knew how you miss them so. A great write, Ruby.

Such a touching write Ruby! They'll be back!

You have such raw talent, its frightening! You write a poem that reads like a novel!

Funny and sad too...i've moved and missed a silly bush...lol

hugs my dear friend

Ruby, they will find you, God will whisper on the breeze, you new address and soon there will be more than ever before.

I guess I am a little late, I see they came back.

So happy they found you.

Blessings - Love the song

This is beautiful, and well written! I really hope those birds come back to you!!

always i can send you the birds that storm my gardens LOL I have to admit some of them are pleasures.. so I can somewhat feel the loss.. thank you for expressing it so poetically...:)

It's true we always miss what we are used to. We feed crows that fly into our garden and it is a delight to see them grab a piece of bread or something else then carefully look around and then fly off. I hope your hummingbirds come back. Blessings to you.

Ruby, don't be sad, your little friends will find their way back home. Yesterday I was getting ready for work when I noticed the most exquisite little goldfinch appeared on the tree outside the window. Luckily, I had my camera close by. You're blessed to have such exotic visitors to your garden. I would feel sad when they leave also. Enjoy them when their choose to visit and wish the luck when they fly away. Brilliant poem, loved it.

Just Beautiful! I hope your feather friends come around. I am sure they will. Sending you blessings and hugs! ((((((( Ruby))))))))))))

Shared, tweet and Up she goes.

This beautiful poem really touched me. Think positively, I'm sure your little friends will find you again. Blessings to you.

What a lovely poem, and a bit sad. I love the photos!

Ruby, I love this poem as it reflects a beautiful heart that craves for such lovely beings as birds. You long for your friends that cheered your heart every time they visited your premises. To have such wonderful empathy with birds is really a very beautiful thing. I earnestly wish return of your friends to your new home. I think you'll surely find some new fascinating friends and we'll be blessed with lovely poems on them by you. It is really a very sweet and touching poem. Voted up and shared.

Your little friends will find you, Ruby. These guys know a soft touch when they smell those colorful songbird seeds. Sometimes it takes them getting used to the new feeder and the human smell on the device. I'm headed out today to get a Shepherd's hook and a new birdfeeder to hang outside of Louise's window at the rest home where she and Mom have moved. They really, really miss their bird friends that were outside their kitchen window. Off to Tractor Supply now. Take care. BTW, I love Bonnie Tyler and that song is one of my favorites.

Am sure your friends will come back to you and visit you everyday! Great poem, beautifully expressed.

It is sad when we lose the contact of animals and birds who visit often. I hope they find you or that others do; they're certainly missing out by the sounds of it!

A sad poem but it has a hint of optimism and I'm ever the optimist. Lovely!

I love watching the birds and the other critters outside. It's always a treat then they grace us with their presence. They'll be back, wait and see!

Good morning Ruby. I have dusted the juke box, made fresh coffee, Rose just took a batch of pastry from the oven, Earl has fried up th grill to make you a big-o-batch of flap jacks and we can all sit and swap poetry. Your poetry this morning is 'for-the-birds' (ugh) They will find you I am sure. I droppped a nickel in the juke box - Elvis is playing 'I Hear a Sweet Voice Calling'

Ruby, I hope your birds find your new home. I'm sure they will or maybe you'll make some new feathered friends. They'll be back - I have no doubt!

Wow, Ruby, this poem touches the core of my soul. Birds are completely free, so when they come to us and enjoy what we have to offer, they provoke a special kind of joy in our soul. When they are no longer interested in what we offer, the most devastating feeling of loneliness becomes our lot.

I see our online friends in the same light. They are all FREE spirits, eager, or not eager, to read what we have to offer. When they're no longer interested, our feeling of loneliness is hard to overcome.

Keep on attracting those birds. Sooner or later they will find you again. I hope sooner than later.

Love you, Ruby!

I am sure it would make you sad to lose your friends Ruby. As others have said it may just take them sometime to locate your new home. Just keep putting the feed out and they will come. We have a family of finches that feed on seed we place outside our bedroom window. They are beautiful to watch, but they haven't been here for a few weeks. Maybe they go elsewhere over the cold months. Lovely poem, voted up.

You words are so endearing…and written from the heart with such imagination. I was amazed at the number of blackbirds swarming in your backyard. That cardinal is gorgeous with his brilliant red tufts shown against the contrast of winter white. I suspect your friends will return; they just need a little time to find their way. Voted up and shared. :-)

I always loved that song...she reminded me of Meatloaf...weird, I know, but that's who I think of when I hear this classic. Anyway, I hope your feathered friends find their way back....very creative poem my friend.

It was beautiful Ruby. I am sorry that you lost your friends, I hope they find their way but you should get new ones. Cross your fingers and maybe you will get both. :-) I voted it up and shared it, plus pinned it.
