Song of the Mockingbird

This is the song
Of the Mockingbird
With repeat rhymes 
And borrowed words
Of all he's seen 
And all he's heard
On his daily flight

From yonder wood
To mountain stream
Through rolling meadows 
Shades of green
All that he has 
In-between
That his ears can find

To use it time
And time again
As ruffled feathers 
Gather wind
Spreading wing 
At the slightest hint
Mixing it all in rhyme

Good one, Mike. I love well written poems about birds. The mockingbird is also a thief and can be very mean at times.
