A bird was born to take its flight
Against the Wind to weave
A nut, a corn, a bit of seed
If none then he will leave

My soul is pecked by speckled beak
And bathed by now a lark
Who sings a song of mischief-love?
That finds me in the dark

Now sightless eyes, I still can hear
The Wind blows whispered words
You sing a song to fill my heart
As trees fill up with birds

---

A seed is sown-yes, buried there
No, Order doesn't mind
For things might mean just what they say
If poetry is blind

No tracks upon my soul you see
I check it every morn
The person in the mirror's me
No bird was ever born

The lark still stirs within my breast
The birds up in the tree
Just want to exorcise my lust
In potent fallacy

Flow is very good to me. I'll bet it sounds perfect read out loud.

I like how it seemed to start out simple and get more interesting as it went. I also like the part about poetry and blindness.
Can I sit in class with ya next time? LOL! Lord knows, I'm needing some!

Be well!

For all who watch.Dare you say hello? Come in and ask the questions that are on your mind, but spare me your judgement until you truly sipped of me.

Wayout,
Rhyme, rhythm, and throngs. Chirpin' and burpin'(can't go wrong) bird-calls is my fav'rite song. Nice poem Walt, see-ya, so-long.
