Listening to every heart

                                   Dusk Songs

                                   for this, you must use
                                                     mind's eye
                                   a bit of meander on the drive
                                                                        home
                                   awareness of all surround
                                                                      you
                                   letting the charm seep
                                                                   in

                                   of what asked
                                   ah, telephone wires, black
                                   lines lineating passages

                                   but wait, you’ve heard
                                   of singing wires

                                   conceive then the sky, twilighting
                                   comes duskily greeting

                                   then see telephone lines
                                   as light plays just right
                                   starlings becoming
                                   quarter notes

                                   hovering in fall’s rookery of
                                                        gather, come to
                                   land Largo, a few leaving,
                                   La Paloma sifting along,

                                   add legs to your perceive,
                                   quarter notes move up
                                                                        and down
                                   a flutter of sharp
                                                                        comes flat
                                   accidentals spluttering Dark Eyes

                                   suddening a Nocturne of sound
                                      Barcarolle sounds as they move readying
                                          to join the Joyous Farmer

                                   and night claims their
                                                                      Merry Widow
                                                                                             depart

Huge (Thunderous Applause) Your verse is a stage of the most glorious vision of nature's happenings mixed with the art of composed rapture! Mind if I keep this like~Forever~!!!I'll never see another bird on a wire without hearing the notes you've versed.    

Sincerely,
Regina

It's all in the mind

Karilea~
This is just so wonderfully replete
with imagery in your special style~

You know who would have loved this piece ?
Our own sweet Wilfred Yeats would have just LOVED it~
It just strikes me as being a little message from him or to him~
Thank you for stirring a nostalgic memory~

I must agree with  Margies insight on this one...
me thinks a "little bird" sang to ya on this one  
your opening lines say to look with our minds eye....
looking at things thru yours proves that there is poetry everywhere if one would just be open to it........
this is a very very cool poem Sun...
love the title.

Ah once again your sun shines brightly and your verse is incredible!!

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.
