Daddy's little warblers

Daddy's little warblers

A Poem by Patricia Wedel
"

Nesting is a pleasure when eggs appear...

"
When daddy chose his mate, he ruffled 
his feathers... he brought her berries... 
she thought he was all that 

She was a chestnut-sided warbler
wearing a yellow cap with rufous sides... 
a real show stopper 

Grandma Chickadee flew from the east 
to visit the first-born when she chirped... 
as a newly-born fledgling 

The entire family went fishing on a 
lake on top of the mountain... 
there were worms galore and baby ducks 

Hummingbirds sipped orange blossoms 
and at night slept in a deep sleep-like state... 
known as torpor, when their body slows 

Hummers are tough and so are 
Mommy and Daddy warblers busy when...  
Spring fever dances in their hearts

boy do i love this poem ..every line a tweet ..er treat ;) the charm drips from it like honey and the interjection of language like:
"she thought he was all that " and:
"a real show stopper" make the personalizations of the birds that much more real ..not sure you need the "turpor" definition ..i felt it in the preceding line quite well .. this is a tribute i truly wish i wrote for me own Ma and Da ..well done .. a keeper for sure!

You are welcome dear Pat.
An intoxicating poem of romance...
when a flair for Paris became a poem
of feathered lore....
