There are the blackbirds
 noisily declaring the
 late dawn
 competing
 with the magpies
 and wild doves
 in cacophonous shrieks.
 There are great schools of sparrows
 nestled in droves
 on the same tree
 noisily lifting the sun up
 behind the winter clouds.
 And overhead
 the starlings gather,
 in milelong gracefull loops
 shimmering silver black
 in synchronous rhythmic wing beats
 making a swift noisy pass
 on their daily way
 to seed rich fields.
