roundup of robins
preludes winter’s last full moon
spring is in the wings,
a curtain of leaves will come,
conceal their feathered presence

I saw starlings or some other tiny birds through the bushes without leaves yesterday. The phrase “curtain of leaves” reminded me of those birds. Also “feathered presence” made me think that leaves are like feathers on trees.

The summer’s leaves do disguise…I always think winter reveals, but the reverse is also true. (K)

Janice, both the picture and your poem are beautiful.
Yes, the robins definitely prefer ” the curtain of leaves” . Better protection for them.

They probably do enjoy the leaves but now many of them seem inclined to sit in top empty boughs even in the rain today.

I like “roundup of robins” that will soon be hidden by a curtain of leaves.

You are so right about the roundup. Down here, before the curtain of leaves, there’s a shower of Robin leaving on my car every day. I like your poem. It’s beautiful and easier to handle than the black “snow”, lol

so many layers to your poem its so lovely to read and daydream it. spring is in the wings, like waiting to appear and in the excited flutter of the birds feeling the coming of spring. the curtain of leaves hiding the petite feathered creatures and also like an act waiting to happen. really beautiful imagery
