Notes About The Poem

- Red Winged Thrush -

~ spring is a time for quiet thoughts
               - it is impossible to explain what is happening to your soul ~



                It's spring and you believe the birds are singing for you
                            The birds do not sacrifice us humans
                a single thought where they sit in the treetops and sing

                          A red-winged thrush sits in the cherry tree
                            it has returned from its winter sojourn
                                    It rests a little in my garden

                 A young red-winged thrush chirps hopefully into the air
                                Not looking for food, but a partner
                                          He's a real charmer
                                       It's the males who sing,
                                   while the females fly around
                              and trying to find the one who sings
                         the most charming song for the nest of love

Sam Kauffman February 28, 2021 at 9:34 AM Enchanting and "charming" as the song of returning birds from "exile" Anne Lise! Birds really are the place markers for the gradual return of spring! Congratulations on your win.
