An Early Spring Morning

It's early, as I enjoy my coffee this morning Birds are chirping, as I hear a blue jays warning I look outside and see a young red breasted robin He's Jumping and dancing, his head’s busy bobbin Goldfinches appear in their bright spring yellow Chirping, singing their songs sweet and mellow A pair of red cardinals land and take the show They’re always together no matter where they go I decide to take my coffee and go outside Watching all the songbirds soon scatter and hide I relax in my chair, smelling sweet lilac blooms One of my favorite scented spring perfumes A Baltimore oriole appears on the fence His black and orange feathers are still and tense A blue Jay swoops down and lands on the ground He looks at me, then peculiarly looks around He takes off quickly, lands in a nearby tree The oriole is now feeding, chirping with glee I need to go in now, and get ready for my day I enjoyed my morning watching spring birds play 4/25/2020 Contest: Spring Rhyme Poetry Contest Sponsor: Emile Pinet (Syllables checked on Howmanysyllables.com and rhymes checked with rhymezone)

this is so lovely and colorful. I really enjoy watching birds and how they interact around feeders. My sister has so many pretty ones like these at her house in ARkansas. BIG congrats for your win, Tania.
