A Poem a Day (425): Birdsong haiku (7): Part 2

 


 

Chords scurry, songs high,

casting lighthearted raptures.

Sonnets for the sky.

 


Twit and woo join up

in sensations bursting skies.

A tennis of notes.

 


The sky cracks open

in full colour, notes ablaze

With full-throated glee.

 


We listen to songs

they send us over rooftops,

nothing between us.

 


A magpie wakes us,

bursts a repetitive cry

that we take notice!

 


Turning notes softly,

he calls us, a lullaby

to send us to sleep.

 


It stops abruptly,

these dusky songs of the birds.

The display over.
