Red Bird Blue Bird

I am a caregiver for my mother and we like to sit outside and listen to the wonderful birdsong of spring.

Red bird Blue bird,
Sitting in a tree,
Singing their songs,
So nicely to me,

Red Robin Blue Jay,
How do you do,
Puff up fluff up,
Around me they flew,

Tiny bird Brown bird,
So pretty to me,
Huffing their chests,
Flying so free,

Hummingbird,
Mockingbird,
How do you do,
One buzzes around,
And the other mimics sound,

In the breeze of spring,
When the trees are full,
I sit on my swing,
Just to hear them sing!

By O. D. D. Cummings

I love this poem it captures the peace, joy, and beauty that birds have. Although my favorite types of bird is Raven and Crows but I enjoy a splash of color here and there. This piece made me smile.
