Red-Winged Blackbird

The blackbird calls from down by Axtell’s Brook,
confirming advent of our long-awaited spring.
His melodic chrrr prompts me to look
for tell-tale crimson blaze along a wing
but all he shares with me is song.
I have heard that some count bird song less
tune than dominance. But they are wrong
for this arpeggio is surely poetry of yes.
