Notes About The Poem

Contest: Any Living Thing, sponsored by Charles Messina. Syllables checked with Howmanysyllables.com.

A Little Bird - CM

A little bird...
    chirping his words,
While others stirred.

For he could sing... 
    a pleasant ring, 
welcoming Spring!

Chipmunks approve...
  as flowers moved,
in joyful grooves.

A gentle breeze...
  tickles the trees,
leaves wave with ease.

Squirrel's steal nuts...
   sputtering struts,
stashing their huts.

A blue jay glared...
  his feathers flared, 
presence declared!
