The Early Spring

The early spring...

The old tree in front of my window

Indicating seasons,

Where bullfinches lived in winter

And nightingales in summer,

Has been chopped off.

I will miss nightingales' singing.

Sorry to hear that. Well, on the positive side maybe it improved your views! :-)

Wayne

That's all that's left- look for the positives...Thanks, Wayne.:)

Hi Vera, who cut the tree? Irv.

I believe, it's the municipal decision. They do it all over the city...Too sad...:)

What a shame.

Oh, yeah... Not too well -thought decisions...

Very nice, Vera. Did they cut down the entire tree, or just prune back some of the limbs? :))

It's terrible , Rick. They chopped off all the branches, it looks like a casualty of war- I just didn't want to use strong vocabulary in my verse.
If you remember, I often wrote you about nightingales' singing behind my window last summer...I will be missing this so very much.(:

Awww, Maybe you can plant another tree for the birds or put up a bird house for them so you can still hear them singing.

Oh, my! Shocking end to the poem/haiku/? Best wishes for your continued success!

I really, really felt sorry when they chopped off this tree.Thanks:)

I find that sad what lovely tree.

Jenn

Yes, it is, very sad. Thanks for stopping by, Jenn.:)

Change is always hard and sometimes just plain traumatic...hang in there, Vera...some new birds will come and fill in very soon...

:((((((((((
Stupid people chopping off trees.
I miss a few great old trees that have been chopped off, so much good memories..and now the place looks ...empty..

Yes, so very sad...:(

I witnessed the whole forest being chopped off and wild animals were running like headless chickens to the city to find food and shelter. People's reaction - OMG foxes must be exterminated, fox madness disease hype and such.
First they destroy your home, then they hunt you down. People ....

Looks like a variety of oak Vera. I miss old oak trees being cut down!

No, it's just a picture, Mike. it was a big beautiful hawthorn tree. I was listening to nighingales the end of May through half June. I was almost crying when I saw it.:)

You are like Gaea goddess of the earth Vera dear!
