April Affair

Fay Slimm.

 

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.

            Rambunctious dicky birds....spring has sprung...although I had not noticed...but I do understand and enjoyed the spring feeling it gave me, Fay.

            • Fay Slimm.

              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.

                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!
