The Hawk Portico 4:08pm

I have sung a song

of birdsong

with the splutter of The Grackle

the warble of The Flicker

the squawk of The Jay —

numerous calls go unidentified

but are backed up

by The Willet, Crow and Gull

All to My Hamlet

by My Favourite Sea

where I live out My Rhythm

with The Little Chickadee
