A Heart Full Of Sparrows

.
I have a heart full of sparrows
hopscotching in my evergreen
they chirp and they twitter and
boy do they dither-
they give magic to my every day.
.
I sit beside my picture window
and watch them go shopping
for twigs and leaves and grass
and carry them back all day long
one beak at a time.
.
Some days though
bring excitement drama and suspense
when the black-hearted crows
attack their nests
hidden in the depths of my evergreen tree.
.
The sparrows explode out of its green depths
and give angry deadly chase
darting and dive-bombing
swooping and screeching
lethal threats
.
And I come a-running
broom in hand
to scare those crows away
but my sparrows have sent them packing,
....those wee little gangbangers on wings.
