Oh! Birdbath in the back yard
Brings such a joy parallel to none other
Hours of dawn, draws the birds to bath
Chasing each other, chirping silly songs
Dipping in the water, dancing around the rim
Birds come in groups, one size at a time
Bigger ones chase the smaller ones away
Smaller ones return after the bigger ones gone away
Order of nature right in front of our eyes
Happily they fly away after having a good time.
Burdened by inadequacy of vocabulary, I submit
Alas! My words cannot capture all the joy it brings.
