Oops. Tanka. But I don’t want to mess with the title and have it resend.
in the holly bush
outside my open window
two robins loudly
discuss the many details
of their first nest’s construction
a few words spewing from my soul…

seventeen starlings
perched upon a single wire
just after the dawn
only yellow beaks showing
against the mottled greyness

as dawn fades quickly
a songbird cacophony
dueling serenades

the house finch perches
on the blackberry bramble
outside our window
dawn casts his faint shadow on
the pillow beside your face

One sparrow calling
Sam peabody peabody
Across the silence
Fading of the night
Moon slips past the horizon

tilting heads and chattering

robin’s nest sitting
third step down on my ladder
three blue eggs inside
