 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan


Extensions left at corners of rafters were a mistake by builder.
Years of rain and water accumulations causing damage. Because
improperly installed they captured water were rotting. They
had to be cut and blocked. But a surprise was found inside.
A nest of baby birds without Mom they would die.


To look at him
A man child who cared
Bearded tattooed
You have to know
bearded muscular
a biker
The tattoos
Mom is on one arm
Dad on the other
Both in uniform veterans
Both in Heaven
Raised by Christian soldiers
a hard worker
He rides a crane high above
You ride in his planes
Unshaven and gruff
Today we sawed open extended
rotted wood
Inside five baby birds
I looked outside
With a tiny eye dropper
He was feeding the birds sugar and water
Gathered up the wooded nest
Drove forty minutes to a conservation for birds site
He didn't't see me taking the picture
The heart of a lion
