Week Seventeen: Mockingbird Haiku

Simple pleasures abound in spring! Each day I walk from my office building to lunch and on this short journey I play witness to the earnest and most delightful display from the mockingbirds. Love is in the air...as the song goes...and the mockingbirds seem take that notion to a whole new level.
Happy Spring, everyone!


Mockingbird singing
The songs of a dozen birds
On a branch alone

Arrangement varies
Adds in a whippoorwill call
And car alarm, too

Sings “raucous crow” call
The one that wins her favor
She lights on his branch

Mockingbirds singing
Protect their nest of younglings
Medley lullaby
