A Thought

I’ve heard the birds sing this morn
At the very turn of dawn
Chattering just where to go
To catch a worm a seed in blow

To start the gossip of the day
Who did what and flew away
Why was so and so not there
Did she really, dear, oh dear.

And as they search the ground in cheer
Eyes are watching very near
For breakfast prime is hungers time
And is the time for major crime.

It is a thing that bothers me
That life eats life so strange to see
It goes against my over soul
And ethics of my self-control

Barbaric is the only rhyme
Barbaric are the sands of time.

Seymour Tabin, without thought where would our writing be?, I enjoyed this piece, nature and survival, the writer and the question. Take care.

Sincerely
Rick

Oh my Sy...You have the deepest thoughts so early in the morn.
Loved this rhyme of nature.
Tea's on...I'll pour you one.
~Morning hugs, Nancy~


~Somewhere in my heart I'm always
dancing with you in the summer rain~

Whoever first said, a penny for your thoughts, clearly had never read one of your poetic gems.

I see when sought your taut of thought
and the rhyme therein it wrought,
then it brought forth that which is sought
the inner self, which sees a lot...

for in your simple good morning rhyme
stands the test of line and time
for as the bird wrests forth the worm
we see ourselves, and thus, we squirm...

but this is what you do, you see...
you bring the real to poetry...

Seymour - the circle of life is all it is. Yet, I worry about God's wee ones. To them it is just another day.....one day at a time making the best of each....as we all should. Blueberry muffins await you dear poet. hugs, Chris

===============================

Your poetry, regardless of the topic or theme, never ceases to put a smile on me mothy face...its right as rain and sweet as the sunshine, that I begin each morn with your verse of rhymes and wisdom wrapped in couplets of cool. What better way to start me day than a Sy-sigh and winkie smile.

I do not understand this either. But the Nature and Animal Planet TV channels tells me it is survival of the fittest. Still doesn't seem like a good 'thought' though.

I'm going out to feed the birds their store bought seeds so they're not eating my worms that aerate my garden so my beautiful flowers and grass can grow.

Definitely a 'food for thought'.

Yet...

Life eats life...
thus begets new breath.
Yet life takes life...
'tis none but death.

Enjoyed.

(big hugggssssssss) I have never understood Social Darwinism and if this is how we must live accordingly, I think time is cursed and then watch when even the mammoths fall! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is a disturbing but ever apparent truth, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
