The Early Bird
It is a sad little song
Warbled in the dawn
Insomniatic wren
He is at it again
He sings out so loud
Feathers preened and proud
He gives his very best
Asleep are all the rest
To whom does he sing
This aria given wing
What does he need to say
At the earliest of the day
Not heard by a mate
Sleeping in so late
But he goes on undeterred
Singing out his lonely words
Is it just for me
This morning symphony
What message is he sending
With my sleep he’s ending
I do not want to criticize
Could you not wait for sunrise
To throat your lovely song
As the others sing along
Or is this your scheme
To keep me from my dream
With all the noise you make
Forcing me awake
I don’t know how you write the way you do but I love this. It’s so full of life , so full of innocence.. it’s beautiful, Brad. I love this bird.
Yes, but would you still love him at five in the morning? Thank you for all your support, Yassy!
Maybe .. 😇
I love birds, but I feel you. There is a crow here that does the same thing. The sun hasn’t fully risen, but there he is cawing away! Lol. The poem is lively & exceptionally well written. ❤
Thank you, Kristian! Who they hell is that crow cawing to at that hour? Silly birds need to buy a watch! Sending love and good vibes!
🤣😂 Thank you, my friend!!
hahahaha – so cute! and I’ll bet he even woke up the worm!
Even the worms are asleep at that hour…😁
yes!
It is her scheme Brad 🙂 Oh, your words melt my heart. Absolutely beautiful. A serenade to longing and love.
xoxo
Thank you, Gabriela!
My pleasure 🙂
Lol. I’ve been there! It’s hard to appreciate the beauty of nature when it’s just woken you from your slumber 😁
I want to be the bird that wakes you in the morning, beautiful lady! 😁
Aww, you’ve made me smile this morning. You are very gifted at bringing smiles to my face 💋💋💋
That makes me abundantly happy!
Nature’s alarm clock. Love the sense of humor that comes through!
Thanks, Jim!
Beautiful work, Brad. We have an owl that roosts periodically in a nearby tree. Somehow I find his hoots comforting.
Thank you, Peter!
