Carpet of Starlings
shaken in the early sky
amidst the cackle

A flock of small birds
Skimming the water’s surface
Stirring up the fish

A blue Heron lands
Unexpectedly nearby
Its beauty, stunning

Haiku
A Cormorant’s wings
Outstretched, drying in the sun
The morning’s work done

As the birds settle
In the late afternoon sun
The earth becomes still

Time To Get Up – A Quadrille
Time To Get Up
A plangent chorus
of early birds
My wake up call this day
Busy at work
singing and feeding
without hesitation or delay
Sandhill cranes
moving slowly
along the river bed
Their rattling bugle call
can be heard for miles
enough to wake the dead

WimsyGizmo is hosting Monday Quadrille
at D'Verse Poets tonight. He has prompted us
with the word "Up"

Alarm Call
Alarm Call
He drills for food at break of dawn
Woodpecker’s schedule already drawn
Woken rudely from my reverie
Before I can barely release a yawn
A beautiful sight high on the oak tree
His red tuft bright and feathery
It’s a wonder his head doesn’t ache
If only he could work in a lower key
It must be a tough job for Woody
Does his beak ever get bloody?
Why doesn’t he dig for worms?
Then perhaps I wouldn’t be so moody

Frank is hosting at D'Verse Poets Pub and our challenge
tonight is covering the Rubaiyat.
Rhyme schemes
The original Persian rhyme schemes were AABA or AAAA.
I chose AABA for my attempt at this form.

Birds flying southward
Escaping the frozen north
Find warmth in the sun
