Far to the East the mockingbirds sing,
Twisting noise and creating melody,
Yet the songs are ever their own.

This is a very pretty haiku, I really loved how you began it with a fairy tale touch and how you described their modifying the sounds in their surroundings to make their own sound. The wording is amazing, and really enjoyable.
