SPRING NOTES

          I don’t ask for the meaning of the song of a bird
     or the rising of the sun on a misty morning.
There they are, and they are beautiful.

Pete Hamill


Spring

((tanager))  ((cardinal))

notes, each branch.

((robin))  ((bluebird))  ((bunting))

Tiers of colorful confetti.

((oriole))  ((grosbeak))  ((chickadee))  ((kiskadee))

~ Virtuous Winter covered in blue ~

((goldfinch))  ((kinglet))  ((sunbird))  ((crow))  ((thrush))

~ Snow angels spread their wings in hatch ~

((dove))  ((nightingale))  ((lark))  ((swallow))

Choir all the rave, dispatched, after long retreat.

 ((warbler))  ((wren))  ((meadowlark))  ((sparrow))

Greenery at its peak, beaks held high, majestic conductor.

((grossbeak))   ((tit))   ((jay))   ((kingfisher))   ((bullfinch)) 

Sweet songs of longing, life, death, in the warmth of the sun.
