Wonderful, Alan!
I love when words sound like what they mean. A favorite is "poignant."

Thank you Marion, yes, a wonderful birthday on the 16th, reading from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice again in front of an audience, and then a special meal with a bottle of claret at home with Karen, with no distractions.
Thank goodness for birds, I don't know if I could bear a life without birds and birdsong.
Love it. This haiku lifts my spirits — you have conveyed not only the sounds, but also the golden and chocolate brown colors of the sunflower. A lovely vignette of late summer.
Thanks Annette, for your wonderful comments. A haiku, from the author's perspective, only comes alive when it's both appreciated, and commented on, many thanks. :-)

Beautiful haiku, Alan
You've got the words 'singing' together!

Thank's _kala, the bird helped me, of course. :-)
I often feel wildlife are co-creators, co-poets of a natural history haiku.
warm regards,
Alan
nice images. made me smile. :)
Thanks Angie, smiling is good, exercises a surprising number of muscles too. :-)
Alan
Great melding of visual and auditory images, and a brief lesson on onomatopoeia!
Thanks Bob, it's wonderful when birds are named after their actual song. :-)
Alan
Sings of summer! Thank you!
heart of the woods- the wildflowers know me
Dawn, thank you! Spot on, it's a Summer activity, and thankfully I do have a lot of wildlife where I am.
