Line Gauthier Poet Couplet

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

Andrea Dietrich March 6, 2022 at 11:44 AM this is enchanting and delightful. One of the cutest poems I have seen this day! Line Gauthier March 7, 2022 at 2:24 PM Thanks, Andrea. Much appreciated ~

Gershon Wolf February 10, 2019 at 9:58 PM 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 Line Gauthier February 10, 2019 at 10:59 PM Thank you so much for your compliment, Gershon.

Timothy Mcguire February 10, 2019 at 3:18 PM I would get up too. Lovely poem, Like it! Line Gauthier February 10, 2019 at 4:40 PM Who needs an alarm clock! LOL

Caren Krutsinger February 10, 2019 at 2:48 PM I wish I could see a chickadee. I have never seen one, yet, now I feel that I have. Line Gauthier February 10, 2019 at 2:56 PM 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
