The robin, brown suit & red carnation in his breast pocket,
Strikes up the first note for a chorus of caws.
A single tune that heralds spring’s return.
From his right a blue jay shrieks, a harsh noise to the listener’s ear.
Dressed smartly in the shades of sapphires & ocean waves,
Skin around his eyes an unearthly white.
Crow, in a midnight ebony display, lets out a note that overpowers Jay.
Silence now, silence from the chorus.
And then picked up once more for the finale.
The crane’s wailing cry begins the final verse.
Then Robin & Jay, Crow & Crane
Await the final key note.
King Eagle’s boastful voice
Booms over all & finishes the song,
Silence overtaking once more.
- Title: Chorus of Caws
- Artist: Aeyera
- Description: A little thing to honor the feathered beings of nature, the birds. They inspire me and grace the air with their very presence. Not to mention their songs inspired me to create this poem in particular.
