Cedar Waxwing (A Kyrielle Poem)
.
.
Lovely what warm weather can bring,
New growth blooms in each tiny sprig,
Upon it a portent of spring,
Cedar Waxwing sits a twig.
.
Small grey bird wearing a mask,
Yellow pintails I really dig.
It completes its berry search task,
Cedar Waxwing sits a twig.
.
It’s a clever colorful bird.
Over water it’ll zag and zig.
It’s whistling sound can be heard,
Cedar Waxwing sits a twig.

| Author Notes
A Lovely bird that eats fruits, berries, and insects. It chase insects over water just like a Starling. Always on the search for berries it can sit on a twig, or hover like a humming bird. Its song is more like a whistle.
