Seventy Little Blackbirds
seventy little soldiers
lined up in a row
standing at attention
in a discipline of show.
seventy little soldiers
balanced on a wire
poised and at the ready,
in identical attire.
seventy little soldiers
dot the crystal sky...
waiting ever patiently
to take to wing and fly.
seventy little soldiers
like a military troop
the strength that lies in numbers
drawing each into the group.
Seventy little soldiers
blackbirds one and all
poised in patient balance
awaiting nature's call.
seventy little blackbirds
without a fond adieu
suddenly in unison
took to wing and flew.
