Up with the robins—
pre-dawn musical from the
nearby apple tree.

Heard my first robin –
“Time to wake up!” he sang from
the old apple tree.

Cardinal whistle
woke me early this morning –
can’t wait for robins!

Young robin looked up –
worm in beak — and watched me as
I regarded it.

Robin — worm in beak –
scans, looking for the fledgling –
I hope it’s okay.

Young robin — speckled,
insistent — follows robin
mom like a shadow.

Mother robin chirped
and fed the fledgling on the
sidewalk near the road.

Burbling robin’s
song accompanies my walk –
I watch the sun rise.

Jihaddist robin
threw itself at my car’s tires –
I saved both of us.

Saw my first robin!
Over my car it flew — red
greast welcoming spring.
