"The Nuthatch"
Early to bed,
early to rise,
he's been advised
Even believes
early bird
catches the worm
But who cares
when the seed man
arrives at two?

This is linked with dVerse - Poetics "Winners & Losers". So… is this cute little Nuthatch a winner?

Yes, I would say the nuthatch is a winner indeed. Smiles.
healthy, wealthy and wise...but oy, do i love to sleep in when i can...smiles...so i will say your birdy is a winner...ha
This made me smile. I have improved but if my getting up inclination defines me, I am definitely a loser.
Ha,,,a good lesson to boot...it takes humility and patience to see these kind of things!
This poem is pure soul and powerful!
wow!!! I love this piece.
Ah.. to be a bird and not worry where the next seed is coming from and just do it to get it..
is to get now..
and live now..
just to get now.. as everlasting seed
of now..:)
Lovely, and imagine how glad the worm is.. Great way to pick apart a proverb,
heh hehe he the happy bird!
Very clever! And indeed, those early to rise sometimes get eaten by a prowling cat who has the advantage of darkness...
It’s a winner. definitely. Particularly as he has feed on tap without having to hunt for it.
I love the pictures ~ So thrilled to see you snapped the nuthatch, a very charming fellow, smiles ~
made me laugh! :)
How lovely, M., to stumble upon the simple joys within a clever parable. Sure, the Nuthatch is both winner & survivor, & you were/are the enabler; lots of fun too. Thanks for being brave & trudging through my always verbose & lengthy pieces; cool.
Precisely Margaret, who would care when dinner arrives punctually. Beautifully written.
If one is overly concerned then the world slows its movement. If the bull is taken by the horn a lot can be accomplished! Nicely Marge!
Hank
Sweet - he is a winner for sure :)
