You know what, ?
Birds are a flock of blabbermouths.
All it takes to set them off is the sun rising.
I mean, gees, get over it, you birdbrains,
the sun rises everyday.
You feather-heads don't have to get in such a twitter about it.
You don't have to announce it like it's an earth-shattering event.
Well...
actually it kinda is, isn't it?
Thanks, little buddies,
for waking me up for this one.
It's been truly awesome!

So much better than the alarm, Little chirps that do no harm Innocence, that greets the day Would like that, The world would stay. On re-reading your joyful, precious poem. Had to leave a chirping word of satisfaction and cheer. As you do for everyone that reads your poems and that are near!
Your comment-poems are so darn lovely! ! ! I would have to spend hours achieving such a result. Thank you, Sandra! ! ! Your cheerful voice challenges the birds in sweetness!
Love that style of yours! Glad that after initial reaction of annoyance you were brought back to truth....which is we won’t be anywhere with out sun. Missing those noisy twitters on this freezing morning.
Ah, Savita, I have giving myself a bad reputation in this poem. I have never in my life deplored being awaken by birds [with the exception of the crows' harsh ugly brassy caws] I love birds morning, noon, and night [which is a rare sound around here after dark]. My brother told me one day how much he hated birds singing in the dawn. I was shocked. And then I decided to write a poem about what could change his mind! ! ! Thank you for your kind remarks on this poem! .
I love your gorgeous humorous write on birds announcing their earth shattering event of a new day. I don't think I would enjoy a morning without birdsong though. I'm usually woken by a real orchestra... first by The Colonel' our rooster, followed by an assortment of thrushes, sparrows, and blackbirds and then the ducks and the late risers our guinea fowl.
Oh my goodness, that is a surround-sound concert going on. I love waking up to bird song but my brother grouses about it so I wrote this one to give him a little something to think about. Didn't work- -he threatens to get a shot-gun and silence the poor little birds... sigh. But on the bright side, city ordinance forbids such activity!
It is a beautiful poem on dawn, nature and birds having stunning expression. The way of presentation is fantastic. Let me quote ... Birds are a flock of blabbermouths. All it takes to set them off is the sun rising. Thanks for sharing this lovely gem.
Can you imagine how grumpy a person has to be to complain about waking to bird song? ? ? I must have had a bad night trying to sleep! ! ! ! But it turned out to be a great day cuz of those feathered singers! !
