A blackbird taps out A morning reveille on My window beckoning Me to watch the Conquest Once he had me At attention He darts off to join The ranks of a Thousand black dots Lining the wires in Military formation A command.. then The hum of wings Fill the sky An army of aerial Warriors decend upon A field ripe for Harvest The spoils of victory Were many and I Saluted the valiant Effort A solitary solidier Swooped down to My window and Proudly displayed his Golden nugget He had captured Kernel Corn!
Such a pleasure to read, a little gem of a poem! Many thanks, Cafe, for sharing this "kernel of joy"!
Here is a little quote for you to enjoy: "I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries, and very frankly give them fruit for their songs."(Joseph Addison) I can imagine the beauty of the place where you live! Good luck to you!

If you find a lil black bird pecking at your window it'll
probably be me incognito.. But that's just our lil
secret.
