At the break of dawn
We awaken to the music of
Migratory birds chirping away happily
These colorful little creatures
Perched high up in the trees
Call out to their mates so lovingly.
Having left the freezing zones
Of the north they have headed south
To regions with milder winters.
Truly a lovely way to welcome the start
Of another, otherwise routine day.
Sandra, what a beautiful way to welcome dawn with chirping birds. I love both the dawn and bird and this beautiful poem has incorporated both. Top marks and thanks for sharing it with us my friend. Hugs David
No better welcome to the dawn than bird-song Sandra - - a warm and welcome verse. - - bestest of wishes with a 10 - - - from Fay
Really; what would seem as special about dawn without the birds, as a matter of fact..Thank you for making me think! Had never considered this before..(smile)
When North winds blow ice cold and snow, the way they're sure to do......... most birds around are Southward bound. I should be going too. But there's no way. It's here I'll stay. For me it's nothing new. My firewood supply is good, to last the Winter through. When Winter's gone, though it was long, eyes glued to skies of blue. We'll watch and wait, anticipate.......... till birds come into view. And when they do the miles they flew no longer mean a thing. What means the most is Winter's ghost has fimally turned to Spring.
Yes dear Sandra, as they often say, - The child shows the man, As the morning shows the day! -Raj
the description of activities at dawn is refreshing, a very nice poem
Truly a delightful moment for us. I recently read about how some birds migrate thousands of miles. You wouldn't think they would have anything to sing about. We certainly have something to be grateful for when we can enjoy their music.
This poem is a treasure Sandra. And it is the treasure of nature that can make our ordinary day more special, but it can also override despair. 10 love Karin
