Here in north Texas, from April to October, we are able to view one of nature's great wonders: the incredible barnswallows and their indescribable flying antics.
The picture was taken by my wife this year as one of the beautiful creatures rested on our patio.
My poem;
Texas' Swift and Swooping Swallow
In Texas' wild and endless skies
Soars the swift and swooping swallow;
Through currents fierce and mild she flies
In Texas' wild and endless skies;
And daunting in her haunting cries
That echo hill and hollow;
In Texas' wild and endless skies
Soars the swift and swooping swallow.
(C) 2007 Clint Ellison
