Tweet me a tale


What shall we say of our avian friends
winging their way from here to there,
filling the trees and skies with their song,
braving the weather we'd rather avoid?

Winging their way from here to there
with chirpings and quackings and honkings galore
from barnyards and meadows and creeksides and more.

Filling the trees and skies with their song
they pass on the news about what's going on,
especially where claws wait in hopes of a pounce.

Braving the weather we'd rather avoid,
floating in place, wings tilted just right,
while we watch our hats fly away out of sight.
