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.

what a delightful and accurate reminder of this particular time of year .. probably my favourite .. I also think I should have been called Jack .. x
Ha ha -- well I dub thee Jack then thou girt lusty lad and trust that thy twiggy-thin offering meets with some luck !!! .................x
Rambunctious dicky birds....spring has sprung...although I had not noticed...but I do understand and enjoyed the spring feeling it gave me, Fay.
Wow I do love that opening word of your comment Dave -- must try to use it in verse soon my friend - -- so pleased the read gave you feelings of Spring though your Autumn has started down under methinks.
PS -Just discovered (since you commented) In the beginning....there was 'rumbustious'.
Nature in April, always seems to be bursting with love and new life. You capture it so beautifully dear friend that I can almost hear those calls and chatterings, "It's time". Thank you for this Spring gem!
An thank you for all your support of my poetic efforts dear Bella - -- and I assure you they are always appreciated.
