swallow song

swallows on a wire


preening, twittering notes
a skyward sheet of musical birds
a cachophany of sound
I wish I could read music
I'd like to hear the tune they'd make before they're Africa bound

  1. I always think it's a sad sight to see the Swallows gathering on the wires......your words say it all!

  2. They didn't seem to be here long this year, I liked the idea of them sitting there like a music sheet...it would be interesting to hear the tune they made.
