The Gray Catbird Wears a Cap of Charcoal Black

Gray Catbird 

on caribbean
winds
you wend your
wings of
dusk,
skimming coastal
wooded routes
to rocky
new england
shores, to
me.

capped in jaunty
charcoal
your endless vocal
antics
fill warm spring
breezes 
with melodiously 
mimicked
melodies to
charm, 
me.

for this, i
shower 
you, gray
catbird,
with sun warmed
raisins, grateful
to you
for marking 
yet another
leafy
season with
me.

For the Record,
This day came in with high humidity and showery skies.

All hands welcoming our spring birds
