In the beginning
Was the word
And the word
Became a bird
Majestic and strong, swift and fleet
A kettle of hawks
A gaggle of geese
A murder of crows
A flush of quail
A shimmer of hummingbirds
A scold of jays
A banditry of chickadees
Singing in trees
They’re loud and loquacious
They dazzle and daze
The birds in the world bring
Winged life to our days
