Russell Sivey Poet Tanka

Early Spring Birds

In the early spring
The birds are all together
And in their great nests
Are the small eggs of their young
They hatch with the greatest ease

The young birds go fly
Into the fullness of life
Leading their own lives
Becoming the new prime birds
One day be parents themselves

Russell Sivey
