chirping on a tree
the robin eats a fat worm
in an amber orb
the worm lived a secret life
in its scented foster home
fruitful apple tree
need not stop or worry
birds will deal with rot
speak to me of fall
and its seasonal delights
stop and observe
the easy life of birds
the miracle of life
soon a memory
summer’s cornucopia
full of fruit and worms
and early morning chirping
of hunting birds at dawn
