in the throes
of January shadows
admire the simplicity
of a blackbird perched
on a limb of silver birch
a songbird whose
sweet notes pour forth
from its tiny fragile throat
to greet my morning
where brushwood twigs
suspended in fine tangles
sweep the sunshine air
bedraggled like bedroom hair
night time beguiling
has made early hours
lighter and brighter
my window eyes smiling

So right Andy, the blackbird has the sweetest of notes. Wonderful to wake up to. Happy Monday.
Good write Cassie. Erm, I say the word 'bedraggled' often - to KP! lol. I notice the lighter times as from, say, early February.
I depress KP. After the Longest Day in June, I say to her: 'The nights are drawing in again now, dear!' lol.
Poor KP:) I am looking forward to lighter mornings and evenings Orchi. Thanks for stopping by.
Lovely. I like how Birds don’t seem to mind the terrible January weather. But a singing bird is a delightful sound. Good Poem.
