Best Chirps Poems

the skylark chirps

  of amorous refrains

    mellow as night…

 a winged hymn echoing 

tales of my deepened woes

Songbirds loose small chirps,
Tiny enough to slip through
Momentary rain....

As the doctors and nurses begin their day,
The cricket chirps resonate
Throughout the hallway;
as if they own all of the luck in the place....

There's a shooting downtown.  A tree frog
Chirps.  Two young people discover love.  A tree frog
Chirps.  The Chicago Cubs beat the Toronto
Bluejays.  A tree frog chirps.  A bimbo
On the Internet becomes a celebrity.  A
Treefrog chirps.  Life goes on....

on a perch, the air stinks;
	lies swarm as flies.
	Dare not voice a bite of truth,
	or flash a light in the dark hollow,
	except to trace the way to the gallows. 

As dark clouds dip, lowering, 
	stars slink, blinking at the rear. 
	The sun courses without shine;...

   Dawn chirps a melody
     Birds of promise beckon me
   High-fliers inspire emulators
     to flap our wings, become creators

   Ahead lies adventure
     sunlight, the perfect mentor

Chirps
of wrens
are cheery.
You can hear them
as they croon their tune.
They compose a chorus
transcending the evening moon.
Singing rhythmic modulation,
joining with angels and golden harps,

like birds chirping in early mornings
memorys flickering give me warnings
of things in pasts that may return
if lowly people never learn
to be the change they wish to see
instead of begging diety
lest we will surely lose this fight
and like those chirps, be gone with night...

in a war-wounded city,
   in an ugly crack on the
      burnt wall of a cruelly

         battered brick building,

Do you want to hear Hurrays
Tired of boos; want some Yeas
Drop impulsive texts and tweets
Give the nation a welcome treat

Every time that you get mad
Take my advice, comrade --

Think what Abe Lincoln would say
Think what Abe Lincoln would do
He re-united a divided nation
Give it a...

The swift, whiz, of a spring breeze,
    Young leaves nodding in the trees.
      Quick flutter of small wings, through
        High branches searching the sky of blue.

  On cushion grass,...

shining wintertime
a swamp, feathered sparrow chirps
because of the dog!

I smell fresh light wafting 
near this dissolving darkness

I hear its faint ringing
the second hand ticking
while the refrigerator hums

and the distant driver drones

I tensely anticipate 
the first tweet to ripple the silence
a tentative answer
an assertive reply
a confident rejoinder,
the ensuing cacophony of chirps

and
the distant driver cross...

** In the August Heat  **

August roasts the red pears
Sitting crowded on the sill…Spoiling
With no protection from
The open, lime-tinted curtains
Speckled with tiny violets....
