Exquisitely Serenaded

A blackbird
sings his 
songs of love 
exquisitely
serenading

Beguiled by
his love songs
she responds
coupling
new life 
created

Nesting
resting 
one by one 
slowly eggs 
will hatch

Nurturing 
feeding 
hungry brood
day and night 
search for food

Tired parents
await the day 
fledglings fledge
to find their way

circle of life
continues

and she 
his love 
cannot resist
love songs  
exquisitely 
serenaded

Written 14th May 2019

After the most gorgeous spring day, whilst out walking I heard a male blackbird singing his heart out... oh what joy!

It certainly was Heidi and I have a blackbird who sits just above my balcony in the evening and it really lifts my spirit when I hear his song. Thank you so much for your visit Heidi and I hope you are doing okay. Thanks for your lovely comments. Kindest thoughts Ann xx

Yes isn't it wonderful at the moment Tom, those glorious blue skies, but as they say, 'don't hold your breath', but enjoy it whilst it lasts haha. I love the song of a blackbird, it is like a mini opera and is my favourite birdsong! Thanks for your visit Tom, good to hear from you, with kindest thoughts Ann xx
