Birdie
Little Birdie wild and free
Will you sing a song for me?
A trill, a warble, a little tweet
Each morning brings a sound so sweet
I hear you call to friends nearby
And listen for their swift reply
Your sound conveys a special meaning
I wish I knew what you were feeling
Each note a letter, each group a word
A language I have never heard
What do you say when you call out
What is your message all about?
I stand transfixed at dawn each day
In awe of what you have to say
Peace surrounds me, welcome bliss
Each note becomes a gentle kiss
You sit perched high upon a wire
I stand and watch and never tire
I pause and listen in perfect calm
Your tones for me a healing balm
I’d wish the morning never end
That I might keep my special friend
That I might stand with just us two
And hear your song the whole day through

The birds sure are singing a merry tune just now, which I assume is mating season.
Thank you so much, such a sweet comment. I suppose mating season is a good reason to break out in song.
I love this .. and being something of a birdie myself can really understand where you are coming from ..

Thank you dear friend, we birdies are a happy lot aren't we?
A symphony of bird-song and penned so sweetly I felt I was there with you on your morning walk Bella - - lovely read.
Thank you Fay for such a lovely comment. Keep a tweet in your heart!
The beauty of Nature's Chorus is a delight Bella.

Thank you Andy, it never disappoints.
I adore your steady and rhythmic rhyming patterns. It really suits the tone you're going for. I can imagine the birds passing by and singing a song of pure delight. Wonderfully executed!
Thank you dear Rocky for your lovely comment. They do make for a happier day!
I have a special affinity for nature and I think we underestimate animals as well. Our own biases preclude accepting them as equals. We do know birds do communicate and are very intelligent. A beautiful flow to the poem that emulates the song of a bird and the rhyme was soothing as well. Well done
Thank you dear friend for your lovely words. I watch them every day at the feeder on my deck, and they fascinate me beyond words. So glad that you enjoyed the poem.
Absolutely lovely. Springtime sure is a special time of year.🥂🌹🕊🌞
Thank you for your dear poet for your comment. It's always the beginning of new life for me.

Really like your poem .. especially the line ‘ each note becomes a gentle kiss ‘
Birds are so beautiful .. and can have such a calming effect on the mind . I love listening to them
Thank you for your kind comments. I love the bird surrounded by flowers that must be very indicative of you, and a beautiful name as well.
