Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

They Trill Us and Thrill Us

Puffins and Parakeets
  Starlings and Sparrows
Hummingbirds and Hoopoes
  Cardinals and Cochoas

Their colors flashing
  Songs edifying
Perching and resting
  or airborne flying

They trill us and thrill us at night
  Wing their way through the day
Soaring high in tranquil blue skies
  or huddling in trees when it rains

Indigenous Americans, their feathers treasure
  These frequent flyers give man such great pleasure
