May Mornings
The early morning sunshine peeps
in my bedroom window. I leap out of
bed and turn up the calendar leaf to a
brand new month. May.
I open
the door to
be greeted
by a chorus
from the birds
choir. They, too, are
rejoicing in the sweet
warm air. I watch them as
they gather, having a treasure hunt
under the hedge back of my flower
bed. Chirping, pushing, trying to get
the best bits collected there over the
long winter.
Noisy, bossy black birds, with their
glossy feathers and beady black eyes
are trying to scare the others away.
They’ve found some fancy shining
bits of toffee wrappers
dropped by a careless
child.
I hear the cheerful
whistle from a pair of
cardinals as they flash in
among the cedar boughs,
searching for a secluded

nesting spot I hope. Here and there
fat robins pick among stocks of last
years blooms, they enjoy a few tasty
grubs and search for the proverbial
early worms.
A flock of busy finches are having a
picnic with seeds that had dropped out
of the feeder as it swung in the wind. I
glance back towards my garden spot,
a flash of bright blue tell me the blue
jays are busy with cleaning up a few
left over sunflower heads.
Then from the woodlot comes the
loud “caw caw” of the crows, returning
to nest again in their favourite tall tree.
Suddenly all is quiet. My faithful
antique persian comes strolling in
the laneway. Seeing me there with
the door open she makes a fast entry
into the house. Those bundles
of feathers don’t interest her
in the least, she knows her
favourite brand of food will be
awaiting her in her dish.
I close the door and the bird
choir starts again in full volume.
I must shake a leg and get at the
thousand and one things awaiting me.
It’s May.
