The Color of Music

Baby birds cheeping in treetops high, mellow yellow, Whippoorwills' song when even is nigh, red sunset glow, Raucous crows in the hot noon sun, deep orange gold, Humming bees in blazing wildflowers, dark green wold! Seagulls' elegant glide over pounding surf, royal blue, Crickets calling through a summer night, a black revue, Loons hooting across transparent lake, twilight purple, And cardinal chirps lonely songs, in pink crape myrtle! Parrots squawk away the sunny hours, of forests green, Nightingales sing forever and a day, white moonbeams, Humming bird emblazons the peony bush, pretty pink, Goldfinch trills on desert bush, as orange sun slinks!
