First Place

At dawn a bird outside begins to peep, it is quietly at first- but grows loud; twitter, twitter, chirp, chirp . . . oh, goodbye sleep, and it is not one birdie but a crowd ! Oh, though I do love all these singing birds, I like to listen to them and their tones; these sweet little winged creatures need no words, I adore their calls, trills . . . their groans and moans ! Delight to watch a water fountain bath, gems in my garden ~~ flying here and there; they like to eat seeds on my stone worn path, sometimes just resting . . . on my garden chair ! Imagine this life without a bird song ? It would be too quiet, silent and wrong !

A lovely, lilting poem about beautiful birds! I love to watch them in their bath! Sadly, this year, I've seen no hummingbirds and I have four trees blooming that they love nectar from. Where are they, I wonder...

Birds sing and chirp to the delight of most of the poets. Nice bird picture.
