Hi Bill! Thank you so much. I thought it would be fun to picture the forest dancing swaying to the meadowlark song. Have been enjoying writing haiku - action packed little verses. Blessings!

Thank you so much Vijay. Had fun picturing the meadowlark's influence on nature. And, you are so right. There is a revelry about spring that gets the toes tapping and the feet dancing! All the best. Blessings.

Dear Sam, this is a pretty one. We love birds in my family and my husband and I take am bird walks to hear "new songs filing the meadows" Such a lovely welcomed sound, such a lovely welcoming poem.

Hi Marikate! Always wonderful to hear from you. Thank you! The meadow lark song is so beautiful, so distinctive, so happy. Just now have discovered we have meadow larks. We too enjoy watching all of the birds and listening to their songs. We seem to be on the migratory flight path of many birds so we have a lovely variety of songs and colors to revel in each year - the birdfeeder helps! Blessings. All the best.

Oh Jan, thank you so much! Until recently I didn't know we had Meadow Larks. What a delightful joy their song is now that I know what to listen for any time of day! Thank you for sharing in that delight! Hugs!
