Spring Is Singing

With Spring come the backyard birds to my birdfeeder,
the cardinals, blue jays, drifting, swooping;
                             to join robins,
                               and chickadees !

I knew Spring is here when the snowdrops from snow peek,
    and the birds are singing loud and joyful; 
      their sweet tweets, twitters, and chatters mingling,
oh, love finches and swallows in the morning sun !

         At dawn sings the sad nightingale,
         and from sea to sea the loons call;

                              a hummer came,
                                to just flutter !
