Notes About The Poem

Chirps From the Treetop

The swift, whiz, of a spring breeze,
    Young leaves nodding in the trees.
      Quick flutter of small wings, through
        High branches searching the sky of blue.

  On cushion grass, Kitty walks,
    Anxious sits, meow, it talks.
      Watchful eyes, it hawks its prey,
        As its tail rapidly moves in play.

  Kitty's claws climb upward thrall
    As, first scattered raindrops fall.
      From one small branch, to the next,
        The bird jumps, in frighten chirps, perplex.

  Separated from branches,
    And glimmering light patches,
      Moving steadily above,
        The bird is all Kitty can dream of.

  Spring-shower subdues, chirps shrill.
    Sun's touch, expectations still.
      Fully Kitty's view, it cries.
        Tree blossoms, limbs open, thrill bird flies.

Well said! Birds that fail to pay attention to waving tails pay the price for negligence. . . .
