Bird Chorus, No Backup
Birds perch on countless branches, each a separate bell
ringing out the cadence of stories they must tell.
Around them, eerie silence, for no other sounds compete.
No sound of children’s laughter. No pattering of feet.
Compared to their iPhones, mere nature can’t compete.
The prompt for the dVerse Poets Quadrille prompt is “bird.” A Quadrille asks for 44 words only…
You’re so right, Judy, mere nature can’t compete with electronic devices anymore 😦
p.s. Will you please check your dVerse mr linky? It isn’t working, so I came right to your blog.

I put a new link in. Will you see if it works for you? Wonder how I can get them to erase the first one?
