On the Porch

On the porch
Early morning hour
Birds noisy
What's the matter

Rise to see
What's the commotion
Birds in pear tree
Create an explosion (of sound)

Draw nearer
To the tree
Just to see
What could be

There were birds
Of many species
Dance, jump
From tree to tree

Mocking birds
With unusual 
Sound, red
Cardinals with a bound

House finch
Doing their thing
Other birds
Added their ring

Boy how  could
They sing
Be bopping to
Their own song

All that was needed
Was a loon
Adding his
Trumpet tune

Then I could have
Danced all around
On the ground
Soon its quiet

Still, silence
Penetrates the
Early morning;
Briefly in the trees

Birds got along
Just singing,
Feeding on pears
And bugs

God had  just
Sent me a 
Message about
Love

Very good write. Thank you for your comments today on my poem. The language it is written in is Doric, a Scottish dialect. Robert
