On a wire
sits sparrow
in song
sharp chirp
run together
gibber jabber

Bullrush
along side
Lark of the meadow
hark
sing
unison
in sync

melodies
sung
poetic
how art though
with no lyrics

Warbler and wren
dart among
honeysuckle
in and out and
back again

dance on hawthorn
sharp spine
dare devils in flight

Coos does mourning dove
loss of ones love
feather down vail
covers earth
over ground

Blue jay
cries
loud

Coopers hawk
taken
was it's prey

forsaken

Counting crows
in a row
asking
man

Standing
just beyond
garden

Did you see

glaring
beneath straw hat
eyes black

smiling back

lips painted on
with no words
to speak of

silent

bare witness
never heard from
in the
distance

Scare Crow's
it doe's
staring
