These days when we hear the word "tweets" we may not think of birds. But Marie Harris, former poet laureate for New Hampshire, reminds us of the real thing with a quartet of lovely but tough poems about birds and their lives. I'll cite just the first, and encourage readers to search out the rest:
Spring
Everything's fledging
Woodpeckers, robins … the lot
Empty nests everywhere

Is it this one?
Birds
If ever I see,
On bush or tree,
Young birds in a pretty nest,
I must not, in my play,
Steal the birds away,
To grieve their mother’s breast.
My mother I know,
Would sorrow so,
Should I be stolen away–
So I’ll speak to the birds,
In my softest words,
Nor hurt them in my play.
Sarah Josepha Hale (internetedly), from (ironically) a site called Black Cat Poems. http://www.blackcatpoems.com/h/birds.html
Funny thing is, I doubt that most kids today would even realize they could pretty easily find bird nests in a tree, and steal young birds away.
