Chickadee

CHICKADEE
By Valerie D. Staton

Outside my window in a maple tree,
I saw the most beautiful Chickadee;
Seated on a bough, the little songbird,
Sang the sweetest song I’d ever heard;
The tiny bird’s song drew other birds near,
Creepers and Kinglets I could clearly hear;
When I grabbed my flute and began to play,
birds relinquished the bough and flew away.
