We have a line of evergreens beside our house, and birds love them. We are serenaded quite often in the dark mornings. I love your project - I tried doing this at the beginning of the school, thinking I could capture our days. I am sure you will be much more successful than I was!!!
Love this, Mary Lee! I have a wren who sings in the morning for me, too.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, friend. Thinking of you this April, in the middle of haiku season as you wrap up your many, many years of teaching...
ReplyDeleteMary Lee, thank you for the picture you've painted with these words!
ReplyDelete(Maybe I've figured out my commenting issues.)
Someone's been singing before dawn here too, but I can't tell who...
ReplyDeleteMoments just before dawn - words that can be about so much more. I have birds singing too.
ReplyDeleteI love the first line. You've inspired me to think about adjective inflections to begin a poem.
ReplyDeleteLots of birdsong here too. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThose moments before dawn can be so dark. Birdsong gives us hope!
ReplyDeleteThe early morning hours hold such sweet songs and thoughts. Thanks for sharing what your wren brought to your heart.
