Oh what a swell of riotous noise
Those who gather to voice their displeasure
That Spring again be put on hold
Impending blanket of snow squeezing them to nest
Rendering them to house arrest
Rather they yearn to soar in song
Frustrated their feathers
Tucked tight too long
I hear them tweet enough....enough
Surveying which limbs
Their popcorn kernels to burst
Before April's slotted appointment
Given the freedom to swim
In penetrating sunlight
Sweet orchestration of Orioles awaiting
The finch to strike up the band
It's been the most unkind of winters
Even Mother Nature sends a
Note of condolence
Scribbled in the mud
The picket line of birds protesting
Echoed in the desire for newly hatched days
When colorful choir to release their joyous noise
Breaking through the barricades
Holding back the hummingbird
To unleash, bailed out
Winter adjourned and verdict returned
Spring upon the wing
The picket line of birds protesting Echoed in the desire for newly hatched days When colorful choir to release their joyous noise Breaking through the barricades Holding back the hummingbird To unleash, bailed out Winter adjourned and verdict returned Spring upon the wing Brilliant imagination! Enviable!
