Darkness bids good-bye
The stillness of the evening
is slowly transformed

It comes as whispers
In tandem with increasing
lights, it progresses

A sudden build up
A crescendo of chirping
Madness in welcome

Written for Leo’s Haiku Heights #259 with prompt – crescendo

    Love how birdsong seems to rise in the air - early morning particularly! Beautiful!

    A poem to which everyone can relate, I am sure. The last line exceptional.

    Madness is sure welcome and can be fun, under my rhyming sun

    Oh yeah and I know this only too well!! Great choice for crescendo!! I wonder how they decide to wake up all at the same time and ruin the quiet!! ;)
