Notes About The Poem

Watch the Birdie

"The blackbirds sing to herald spring
Quote by poet"


When birds prepare to produce young
I know for sure that spring has sprung
The adult birds will try their best
to gather twigs then build a nest

In time their eggs begin to hatch
the parents then have got to catch
worms, caterpillars and lots of flies
as hungry mouths need huge supplies

It is a most delightful thing
when new fledglings take to wing
and make their first flight in the sky
I just adore seeing them fly 

The blackbird sings his sweetest song
he’ll never get any notes wrong
Robins and bluebirds join the chorus
heralding that spring’s arrived for us

Dan Prizner May 23, 2021 at 4:56 PM Thanks Jan for this delightful poem. Often I take a few moments in the morning to listen for songs of the birds in my neighborhood. And I once was privileged to watch a mother wren push her young out of the nest for their first fluttered flight.

Jennifer Proxenos March 3, 2021 at 11:04 AM A great entry and love your bird's chorus at the end with the robins, bluebirds and blackbirds all joining in heralding that Spring is here! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Lindsay Laurie February 26, 2021 at 2:45 PM Hello Jan … blackbirds are the dominant bird in our back yard. A friend of mine got irate over a blackbird imitating his telephone ringing. All the same, the blackbird has a wonderful morning song - thank you Jan - Lindsay
