Best Chickadee Poems
Outside my window lives a chickadee,
he loves snowy green pine,
and has a family of about twenty-three;
he loves the snow and falling snowflakes divine,
and each morning the whole family sing for me.
Sometimes they scatter on clamous whirling wings,
off to a park nearby,
my heart is sad for their songs are like violins;
then, the beat of their wild swirling wings multiply,
they have brought home many, many friends I sigh.
On warmer days I bring them some seeds,
I put the seeds on my hand,
and am always in awe with their fluttering speeds;
I love each created by God delicate painted band
helping the birds helps me to grow and transcend.
They huddle together when it is very cold,
at times they lift a foot,
I think God not only gave them beauty but a soul;
each morning I must go to my window to have a look
I find them twittering, and tweeting in a clamor bruit.
CHICKADEE
By Valerie D. Staton
Outside my window in a maple tree,
I saw the most beautiful Chickadee;
Seated on a bough, the little songbird,
Sang the sweetest song I’d ever heard;
The tiny bird’s song drew other birds near,
Creepers and Kinglets I could clearly hear;
When I grabbed my flute and began to play,
birds relinquished the bough and flew away.
she was but a chickadee
small but mighty
with a soaring heart
that included everyone
flying in the sun she felt her strength
loaning it out to whoever needed her
she was but a chickadee
with the faith God gave her
and it was more than enough
retweets of alarm -
owls in the vicinity . . .

(had to totally change this one. Soup does not allow the fun little word for
chickadee which the whole haiku was originally based on)

Outside the house the chickadee
Is calling out to me
Flitting in and out of trees
Living life so free
God's creation for you and me
An example for us to see
To show that it alone is He
It's Him who's made us free
Tiny winged creatures
flit from tree to tree
perch on tree branches
preening breast feathers
wee plump bodies
Fee fee-fee fee
delicate songs
bird orchestra
they serenade
Feathered friends
entertain,
we listen
Fee fee
sweet song
Birds
Chickadee flies low
looking for food he buried
runs into a tree.

I haven't penned one of these in a while.
Weave between branches
they're playing a game of tag
one by one, they're it.

I was watching the chickadees outside a few days ago. This is what I had come up with.

Black capped chickadee
sitting in my hand,
come play with me
across God's beautiful land.

I wrote this about my youngest daughter. It's the first time she had a chickadee land on her hand.
Look over here, I am a sweet little chickadee
I am perched on a branch singing my melody
A playful sweet chorus of chick a dee, dee, dee
My songs are cheerfully happy as I am fancy free
My flock starts to gather round and wait for feed
Oh, please fill the feeders with black sunflower seeds
We eat and rejoice, chirping with flying wings of speed
Thank you for your kindness and fulfilling our needs
Here comes a squirrel, the worst seed thief of all
I dive-bomb the feeders, he just looks, oh what gall
He likes to sit and stuff his cheeks, he has a ball
Here come some blue jays, they like to brawl
A flash of gray now runs by me up the tree
The Blue jays are now squawking for all to flee
Alas, they are all gone and now it’s just me
Singing, chick a dee, dee, dee as happy as can be
As one of the feathered fowls* mentioned by the Scriptures
the chickadee is God’s wondrous song bird among fellow creatures
with marvelously melody-producing features
Blessed to triumph along freedom ventures.
Grateful that the Creator upholds its singing delight
beautifying musical roles by His wisdom’s light…
the chickadee is sociable, fun and feisty showing cheer’s might
prevailing with the alarm calls and songs midst blissful flight
Honouring the Designer by its “fee-bee” accent
it displays “chickadee-dee-dee” sounds, oh, magnificent
inspiring humankind with varied notes as pleasant present
the chickadee praises the Lord along environment’s license!
