Thank you, dear Amaryllis, dear Easy1 for your loving replies in June.

Thank you, dear Yuka, for unearthing this and for liking it. I do like blackbirds and how they chat and sing. I duet with them sometimes

Love,
Margherita

Sweet haiku. The blackbirds are gathering into groups to depart. Some of them stay all winter. Love, Joyce

Lovely. We don't have blackbirds - just huge Ravens that make demands as they strut their stuff.

Black birds sing to us in all seasons. Fine Haiku, Margherita.

Margherita: you've captured the haiku moment between bird & flowers--brief respite before bird journeys onward and flowers bend to wave goodbye.

Thank you, my Poet friends, for your kind comments. I never tire to observe these birds and to listen to their songs and conversations.

Love,
Margherita

Thank you, dear Bob, of course I guess that when he tweets he uses his mothertongue ...

Dear Amaryllis, I do understand your yearning for Spring, but oh ... I love Winter too and I do hope to feel its charm somehow ... cold and wet isn't really that enticing!

Thank you for peeking in.

Love and joy.
Margherita
