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
