Bird, Flora and Fauna, House Sparrow, passer domesticus, Passeriformes, Villanelle

The House Sparrow is known as Passer domesticus,
They are a small brown and gray bird.
They live in our neighborhood and all around us.

They sit and chirp in the bushes and make a fuss,
They are determined to be heard.
The House sparrow is known as Passer domesticus.

Their sense of avian community is marvelous,
They really should be admired and treasured.
They live in our neighborhood and all around us.

Oh, little bird, your looks are so anonymous,
Why you’re so hungry I’ve always wondered.
The House sparrow is known as Passer domesticus.

Their droppings on your car might make you cuss,
The sparrow doesn’t seem to hear a word.
They live in our neighborhood and all around us.

Their numbers are tremendous,
Their cheeps and chirps are always answered.
The House sparrow is known as Passer domesticus.
They live in our neighborhood and all around us.

Heart, Loneliness, Love song, poetry, Relationships, Villanelle

I miss the beating of your heart.
I need to stay so strong.
I wish we weren’t apart.

Why must we always part?
The days they seem so long,
I miss the beating of your heart.

My tears they want to start.
I sing the same old song.
I wish we weren’t apart.

Cupid’s arrow is a dart.
My anger seems so wrong.
I miss the beating of your heart.

We thought we were so smart.
Cell phones ringing like a gong,
I wish we weren’t apart

Your route I like to chart,
I could just ride along.
I miss the beating of your heart.
I wish we weren’t apart.

The sun is on the rise!
Time for sleep is done
Can you open up your eyes?

Wake now from slumbering sighs
Roll over, little one
The sun is on the rise!

The morning birds are wise
It’s time to have some fun
Can you open up your eyes?

Throw off your nighttime guise
Come have a cinnamon bun
The sun is on the rise!

The day before you lies
Jump up, it’s time to run
Can you open up your eyes?

With sleep, please cut your ties
It’s time to get up, hon
The sun is on the rise!
Can you open up your eyes?
