Haiku my Heart - Birdsong



even in moonlight
a mockingbird looks for love
calling night and day

a mocking bird sings outside my house every early morning and afternoon and evening, except in the hottest part of the day, and even at 3:00 a.m.  He has shouted his song for over a week.  I know he will not stop  until he finds a mate, for that is what his call is about. 

He is loud. I'm sure every female within a mile can hear him. I wonder why none have come.  Perhaps his feathers are not handsome enough?  Perhaps his song is not musical enough? 

I made a video of him singing and singing at 6 a.m. but being tekkie challenged was not able to upload to my blog, although I tried forever. Oh well.  Next time. 

Please.....

  1. The first time I ever heard a mockingbird was in Florida many years ago. I was startled that there existed a bird that actually sang in the dark!

  3. lovely haiku about the yearning of the mockingbird ~ much like us humans at times yearning for love (a bit more silently, admittedly) ~ We all need love ~ wonderful haiku!

    Happy weekend to you ~ ^_^

  4. The are persistent and loud! Your description was just as good as a recording Judie! I hope his love comes soon and they can get to work building a nest, so you can get some sleep!

  5. Maybe he is an adventurous lover and has been serenading Ms. Wee, who of course, told him to go and get lost.

    I hope you are able to sleep through the singing...

    Love the tone of your haiku, it's both melancholic and hopeful.
