A Beautiful December Day Poem by Francis Duggan

The magpies are warbling on the sunlit trees
Their music is carrying in the evening breeze
That blow from the sea through the park by the bay
It is such a beautiful December day
Of the beauty around me a poet would write
A poem for lovers of Nature for to read and recite
White butterflies flitting around the wildflowers
That have come to bloom in life giving Summer showers
Of singing Nature's praises i never could tire
Her beauty all around me i can only admire
A willy wagtail is singing his familiar one note song
Once seen and once heard a pied flycatcher one can never again get wrong
Not too warm or cool just a pleasant day
And the first of Christmas just four sleeps away.
