The Writer Writes ~ And the Sparrow Sings - Because they Must

         The Writer Writes

Awake to sun’s bright heraldry,
Symphonic dawn’s cacophony;
Compelled to join the ribaldry,
With outstretched wings
Embracing daybreak’s rhapsody,
The sparrow sings.

Ephemeral yet unrefined,
With poet’s eye the song consigned
To images in prose defined;
A spark ignites.
Compelled to paint in words aligned,
The writer writes.
