Talk Is Cheep - For Contest
Talk is Cheep
They flit about the yard all day
with chippy-chirpy words to say
plucking through the grass and weeds
they seek the sustenance of seeds
scattered on the frozen ground
a gift from creatures still earthbound.
They disappear as sunset fades
into the icy, frosted glades
secreted in dark’s hidden space
awaiting sunrise’ creeping face
cheering on the breaking day
with chippy-chirpy words to say.
