Is It Spring Yet
It’s been much
warmer lately
And the snow
has all but gone
It’s been a
long time coming
It’s been a
long, hard run.
I haven’t
heard the robins yet
But the
magpies squawk and shriek
They disturb
my early mornings
They really
make me freak!
They’ve made
their home as usual
In the tree in
our courtyard
Their chatter
and their squabbles
Show blatant
disregard.
For us humans
that are trying to sleep
(We really
could sleep late)
We’re all just
retired old folks
But we can’t
enjoy that fate!
Those magpies all
wake up at dawn
And they hold
such early meetings
They make us
all just listen
And don’t offer
friendly greetings.
I know it’s
just the beginning
And I know they
will get bolder
When the hatchlings
all start begging
And the young
chicks all get older.
I‘m really a nature
lover
And my patience
is long enduring
But magpies mock
that patience
“Nature’s
enthusiast” obscuring.
Their sleek shape
notwithstanding
Magpies disrupt
my serenity
They challenge
my persona
And deny my soul
amenity
