Victory

The birds have all begun to sing.
Frozen days of winter took wing.
Warmly the robin chirrs of spring.

A blue jay swoops down from the oak.
His chilling jeer to mind invokes;
Fears from feckless fraudulent folks.

Red headed woodpecker pecks pine;
Rhythmic reminder, faith sublime.
Tapping a note, all will be fine.

Cardinals trill from dogwood tree;
Chirping birdie, birdie, birdie.
Singing a song of victory!

Never thought of it as victory before. Thanks for opening my eyes. Indeed, it is. Listen to the birdie, as well as watch. :)

Reminds me that I saw a couple of blue jays yesterday diving from an oak. Seeking what they could find to dine upon on the cold earth. I enjoyed reading this one today. Sara
