Gently brushing the barren white pages, The poet reflects on the question of ages And gloomy and somber, -- a tired, caged finch, -- He presses his cheek on the cold window hinge. A mockingbird quickly flirts her tail aloft. Hoping, she perches,-- so swift and so soft. And harking, he hears her “to-wee, tooo-wee” Change to a distant “to be! – C’est la vie!” |

This has a soft song to it, almost like a children's nursery rhyme...lovely... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Master~ This is absolutely wonderful ! I hear the song of the mockingbird - within the song of the poet ! What a marvelous metaphorical render. I really enjoy what you do with your thoughts. Thank you for being a poet !  Happy Holidays to you. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
