A Black Bird's Prose~ Victoria Pettella
Wishing you the magic of the blackest wings..
I know there are alot of kindreds out there that love blackbirds too..this is dedicated to you.
This photo is of a friendly little Grackle that oftens visits my porch....
I love how purples and greens and pink colors sparkle from his chest
in the black sheen of his plumage and feathers.
He returns often..sometimes limping and sometimes bald..he is a sweet soul and he is welcome to visit me anytime. This poem is also dedicated to this beautiful soul!
You may recognize him in other photos I have posted before..what a sweet creature!
Anyone else have secret creature-friends that visit and touch your soul?
Wishing you all a magical week..
thankyou for all your visits and comments..
I will be sure toVisit you all too during this week!
Victoria

A very sweet creature indeed. I'm flirting with the bird on my windowsill as I type. Such sweet pearls of words.xx
When I was little,after I watched The Crow,I was fascinated by the black birds. Now they are kind o f scary,but your imagination not. :)
I'm loving your adventures with graphics Victoria. I love this poem and the little blackbird. I like blackbirds but crows and ravens freak me out. (I've obviously read too much fantasy). Your poem really spoke to me and I read it a couple of times. I think my own animals have always been really special to me, when I am upset, I try relax around them, let down my guard, because they always sense it and gather round to protect me.

Yay..your bird sounds like an enchanted soul..thanks for sharing that speical moment with me..

Loved the Crow movie too..hugs..hope I dont scare you..somehow i have just always been able to see and feel the beauty of these creatures. I always felt like a blackbird in life....maybe thats why the affinity!
Have a magical day O!

Yay Emm..thanks ..yes i have been having some silly fun with graphics..another way to express my poetic heart and sappy prose!
Oh wow..they freak you out? I see them so differently...wise and beautiful and free......i feel like a blackbird often..not belonging anywhere..yet that is totally ok and beautiful too..it makes me strong and sparked with freedom to know my own wings!!
Wow..How cool..i am happy you have had wonderful experiences too...sounds so magical and beautiful and spiritual..yay..thanks Emm..I appreciate your sharings always!
have a happy day!
Beautiful poem Victoria! I love it! And, I love your little friend! How precious! Hugs ;o)
A beautiful poem and a beautiful grackle friend. I have always had an affinity for blackbirds of all kinds. I often speak to crows when I am out and about, which always garners strange looks, but I don't mind. :)
For a while my family had many odd encounters with bats, so I have always felt particularly drawn to them.
I love grackles myself Kiki. I'm glad he returns to visit you, though I'm sorry to read about his foot.
I have rabbits that visit me in my tiny backyard and they are so cute!
I just love the wild birds. I bet Mr. Grackle is an old guy, bless his heart. I actually like grackles, but so many people down here in Texas despise them as a nuisance. That type of attitude doesn't sit well with me.
I like looking at their iridescent sheen too. If the light catches them just right, you can see some beautiful colors.
Many blessing to you, friend.
victoria,
yes! the red-winged blackbird is my personal favorite! he visited me once during a birthday picnic a few years ago and i have been looking for him ever since!
love your black bird's prose - wishing you the magic of the blackest wings.......so lovely
I have a gecko that loves to peep at me when I am watering the plants. They are such shy creatures.
I love your new design work! Very beautiful poetry and words...I have a beloved group of Ravens that I feed and "communicate" with. They are just so amazing, as are all of the winged ones. Thanks for the beautiful post :)
Dear Victoria, I'm back after some time away from everything and is a pleasure to reuniting with you again, a beautiful poem and beautiful pictures. Thanks for always being there for me ... Hugs
Oh, I am too a fan of blackbirds. Thank you for this beautiful post with your gorgeous words and photo of your little friend. I am touched by butterflies who have come to the yard. Most especially by the hummingbird moth, though, which I haven't seen in my yard in YEARS. He was truly beautiful and such a gift. Usually they are skittish - and zoom away fast. He stayed and allowed me at least one perfect photo. For that I am truly grateful.
I have a friend that has the blackbird as her animal guide - will send her this post. Thanks! Linda
Lovely. My parents have a robin that visits them daily and has become so bold as to take crumbs from their hand!
