Blackbird singing his heart out by Daniela Duncan

This Morning.

I saw him this morning,
exulting in the dawning light.

A half-grown, somewhat tame
well-fed blackbird
Shaking off the rest of his night.

I saw him airborne,
warbling on his morning flight.

A wide-winged, full-throated
ardent songbird
Addressing day is a rare delight.

Splendid Fay. You must be an early riser. I love 'shaking off the rest of his night'. You have captured this songbird's charm so vividly.
