A Robin's Sweet Voice

~ A Robin's Sweet Voice ~ I woke just before dawning and looked to the East A gray sky was forming sunrise had ceased Nor twinkle of starlight nor moon did I spot The day would dawn cloudy dark with worry 'twas fraught Just then on the trellis a robin's sweet voice did I hear Piercing the dark clouds with proclamations of cheer So I zipped up my jacket and picked up my pace My heart bursting with gladness ~ a smile 'cross my face October 03, 2019 Writing Challenge, October, 2019 -Bird- Sponsor, Dear Heart - Wiishkobi Ode
