How do you know What nest to build Or flight across Which distant hill Your arrival with a trill Survival such a thrill Lest you face an almost Certain death by the time You hear its piercing shrill But come you do..... With greatest pleasure Every spring in colored prime Singing loudly and boldly Announcing for good measure Same songs in chirping rhyme Fearful not even changing clime As boundless as any treasure Is an untamed wisdom Wild... and old as time

About this poem:
Spring arrivals of waves and waves of returning songbirds across the northern New England countryside.
Spring brings us back the harmony of birds melody through out the world. From the marvelous coastlines vegetation, to the enchanting rain forests. Nice poem, nature offers us all its beauty.
Yankee..A comment and a salute to the neverending miracle of birds....their beauty and faithful routines are one in the hand of their Creator...without them, life could never be the same! Thank you,Avias
Godsprincess....... the wonderful thing about poetry is how much it devolves not the inner mind.....the very raw emotion we humans possess.....not always cheery...sometimes very dark and moody....which is really ok, too!! :) My grandmother would make me close my eyes and listen to the sounds of birds to identify them just by their songs when I was just a little child.......it was a powerful way to observe things......she used to tell me......by touch.... sound.....sensation......she really tuned me into a world much more interesting than just what we see..... Thanks for sharing...
