No disrespect to the Williamses
John or Vaughan,
But no-one does incidental music
Like the blackbirds at dawn.

Very nice! - especially for those like me with a musical background. Mind you, where I live, there's nothing incidental about the sparrows at dawn - it's my 5AM WAKE UP CALL. But I totally agree with your point! Any chance of more musical poems?

Thanks, Agnieszka! If anything musical flows from my pen I'll be sure to post it here!

sadly with the sparrow on the decline its wake up call is missing from many mornings even here in the country I am now woken up by the caw of the crow nesting in next doors chimney.
but I agree with Agnieszka and apologise to you for the following
like heavy rock
without the tune
tis the crows caw
which says that soon
i must emerge
from my duvet
to get ot of bed
and face the day
the poor old sparrow
is in decline
soon your morn
will sound like mine

My sparrows are drowned out by Collared Doves cooing relentlessy. And the sound of the nearby motorway!! This sounds like a very peaceful way to wake up Lisa. Make the most of it.

Tell me about it, Pene!!!!!!!!!!!
I grew up in Cornwall - on the north coast. Sparrows in the depths of rural Hertfordshire are a very different alarm call!

O.K. you lot, how about this?
We get woken up by rosellas, spur winged plovers, chaffinches, goldfinches, waxeyes, sparrows, blackbirds, starlings and moreporks (little spotted owls at night), black back gulls and pigeons so there!!!
And the poem is lovely, Lisa.

Hey John - it wouldn't fit into the short poem category if I mentioned rosellas, spur winged plovers, chaffinches, goldfinches, waxeyes, sparrows, blackbirds, starlings and moreporks (little spotted owls at night), black back gulls and pigeons too!

Lisa,
Nearly two years late, but got there eventually thanks to Random Read. We have a blackbird who does his bit on top of a telegraph pole come evening. It is wonderful enough to stop me doing the chores and come outside, and however long I listen, he never repeats himself.
A beautiful sound, beautifully described in this poem.
Paul
