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
