Bird Rhapsody Haiku
Tower of Babel
in the forest this morning
blissful bird babble
all different calls
chirps, tweets, chitters and chatters diverse winged chorus
birds of a feather
birds of another feather
sing in one accord
an off-key whistle
joins in this festive glee club
a Barney Fife bird!
“Peter, Peter,” from
Tufted Titmouse sopranos
fully robed in joy
“Pretty Bird,” trill the
cardinal tenors singing
praises to the King
alto mockingbirds
impersonate all species
universal chords
one bass frog croaks out
clearly too early for him
his disdain is heard
morning rhapsody
performed from overhead pines
free back porch ticket
if birds can figure
out how to sing with all kinds
why, oh why can’t we?
