Love Poem: Listen To the Chaffinches

Listen To the Chaffinches

How pleasing to us are the quiet of the country lanes.
The vociferous extrovert chaffinches sing their refrains.

Remember how often we would trek the lonely paths
Occasionally they find some rill and have their baths

So common all over earth since they love to migrate,
Flying happily but from birds of prey quickly elate.

Their natural habitat is the woodland where they can rest.
Their songs communicate in different suggestions best

But especially when the mating seasons begin.
How lovely to listen songs far from the city's din
