robin’s red breasts
against a bright blue sky
spring arrives on wings
Early Riser
dawn’s escort
the venerable
robin
Early Certainty
robins arrival
announce
the inevitability of spring
Morning Song
robin
in the garden bed
fundamental joy
Prologue
before the song of spring
the robin can be seen
Construction
building on the fly
Mrs Robin takes advantage
of abundant construction materials
Singing
robin arrives
singing spring’s song
Songstress
Make your home near mine
and sing your song of joy
at each day’s new breaking.
