Francine Roberts Poet Rhyme

For Heathcliff

I love my little canary.
He sings so sweet and loud.
He puffs out his feathers 
and looks so very proud.
He starts off a-warbling.
he pulls it from his soul
and though I love his music
I wish he had a volume control.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 4, 2018 at 7:05 AM Oh I love this Francine! A birder and bird keeper myself, doves, and one old finch I plan to replace with a canary :) And I adore your canary's name too ;) xomo! Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 5, 2018 at 6:15 AM My zebra finch sounds like a squeaky toy too, he never learned to sing;) the doves a lower pitch, so not piercing but the sound travels farther, through walls etc Francine Roberts June 4, 2018 at 9:47 AM I have also inherited by Mom's zebra finch who sounds like a dogs squeaky toy, pretty loud in here when they both get going, I bet doves are quieter
