I immediately thought about late spring, in my childhood bedroom, when I would wake to the sounds of the birds singing in the maple tree a few feet from my bedroom window. Good luck with the contest.

This is a very beautiful and well written haiku poem you have penned about a wonderful time of the year. I love when I wake up and hear the little birds singing and chirping. Great words and very lovely imagery. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

Those are the simple pleasures of life - the beautiful moments, and fortunate are we if we can experience them day by day. A lovely image to accompany your beautiful poem.

Thank you for this five seven five poem. Oh yes indeed, I love sleeping through the night these days, at the moments it's winter, so we are enjoying the warmth of the bed, also we only have one small dog, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

I enjoyed reading your lovely 5-7-5 and the sounds it creates in my mind.
I love it too - the birdsong in the mornings. So cheerful, how could anyone have a bad day when they wake to that sound?Nancy

Ah, it must be spring or the start of summer. I think of "open window time" as my version of "camping." Lol.
Enjoyed your lovely poem which gives us a feeling for the time of year and the sounds of spring. Best wishes in the contest!

This is a cute poem. The poem is bright and cheery and matches the picture. I like when you can open the windiws too and hear yhe birds chirping. Good luck in the contest. Very good writing.

An excellent entry for the 5-7-5 writing prompt. I adore Spring when the birds come back and I can awake to the sunlight and the singing birds outside my window. It always makes the day seem to start out in a better way. Good luck in the contest.

A vignette painted in words here of the beauty of this time of year in late Spring and Summer is not far away -'bird song bright ' is such a joy in the month of May

There is nothing more pleasant than bird song in the morning and open windows to allow in fresh air. This may be picky criticism, but I think your short poem would be more successful without the rhyme. Rod

    I read the revision and internal rhyme works better.
