Dolichonyx Oryzivorus

Dolichonyx Oryzivorus
    spiritus lapsae

Spring has come.
Redwings in marshes,
declaring ownership of
reeds!

Rice Birds!
Dolichonyx Oryzivorus!
Bobolinks!
Redwing cousins,
hopping in the yard;
more up than along!

Long thinking, along;
maybe I'm wrong?
Bobolink  singing,
more up than along!
