Competitive Spring Poem by Phil Soar

The competition now as spring arrives
can brighten up the saddest of our lives
the Blackbird sings its song and sound explodes
you hear the tones all round the country roads
and even in the gardens, ears will cup
to listen to the sounds that never stop
the Robins too compete to top the charts
their birdsong filling everybody's hearts
and making up for winter's dismal grip
their songs seem much more hop than they are hip
the sounds of spring will brighten up your day
and send your doubting thoughts upon their way
