Spied a red robin, hopping on the grassy mead Tilting its head this side and that, looking for feed Knew her young ones were waiting eager to grab in Hopping on the grassy mead, spied a red robin I have found its nest on a tree by the brook side When in flight, it's a beauty in bright colours dyed Flying around, it searches for food without rest On a tree by the brook side, I have found its nest From branch to branch the bird hops, singing songs merry With its beak, it pecks at clusters of red cherry To check enemies, from its nest, sometimes it peeps Singing songs merry, from branch to branch the bird hops Sitting on an oak, every day it sweetly sings From places far and near, its cadence loudly rings Its musings drive away all thoughts gloomy and dark Every day it sweetly sings, sitting on an oak Hearing its sweet strains, my vexations go to roost The lovely bird’s presence makes me feel richly blest. In music’s magic spell, it drowns valleys and planes My vexations go to roost, hearing its sweet strains October.5.2022 Swap Quatrain Poetry Contest Sponsor- Emile Pinet

Your poem I read with great Joy/ Closely following your verses' ploy/ I felt flying next to the bird/ Its song, I can say, the best I heard! A marvelous poem, my dearest Valsa. Be blessed!
