Chickadee

Precariously perched outside my window pane Each morning giddy playfulness he loves to feign A black-capped chickadee punctually greets me From atop a fragrant branch of my lilac tree Whistles praising the glory of the rising sun He calls me to come out for play let's have some fun Won't stop his song till both my feet are out of bed Face it there'll be plenty time to sleep when I'm dead AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on March 4, 2022 for contest A BRIAN STRAND FORM sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 1ST and February 10, 2019 for contest SONGBIRDS sponsored by TANIA KITCHIN

Nice antidote/counter to Robert Frost's, "A Minor Bird." (If you've never read it, try it. You'll see what I mean---and you'll have glimpsed greatness as well). Best always, Gershon

I wish I could see a chickadee. I have never seen one, yet, now I feel that I have.

O Caren, they are so darling. I'm sure you've seen adorable critters that I've never seen... It evens out in the end. LOL
