April Affair.
This misty green morning
of tender Spring rain
muffles cacklings and
noisy squarkings
as jackdaw-songs ruffle
quiet air with loud
raucous chatterings.
Helloes from every male
ego croaks overtone
tunes to nearby lady-bird
shyness as makings
of nestings appear
with twiggy-thin gifts
collected with care
and dropped at feet
with unique bird-speak
for an April affair.
Orchestrated cacophony
played out with force
of pre-mating offers
each time the same
when call of Spring
urges arise again
by first of April.
