Bob-o-Link A bob-o-link sang in glee It cannot wink but winked at me. It wore the sarong of a leaf And sang a song of disbelief. It seemed to be a little coy I listened with a heart of joy And whistled back as best I could And wished a wish it understood. Moment’s paused then sang again That sounded like a samisen We did a duo in the morn To greet the day as it was born. And glory stopped a moment’s pause In silence and without applause And placed this moment’s revelry Deep within my memory This is the stay that paves my way The touché drip of my decay Samisen, A Japanese stringed instrument |

Seymour darling heart, don’t look now but you’ve written something incredible again. This is a beautiful morning song and I love it utterly, this being one of those rare days I’ve managed to get myself in here, I’ve had my soul refreshed. Truly this is exquisite writing, as always you pass all expectation and lift your poem to the realms of real beauty. I love it utterly utterly utterly ![]() ![]() Love and warm stuff as always Mushy ![]() ![]() ![]() Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Ah this is so pretty Sy. I miss hearing the birds sing during the winter. Maybe that's part of what makes spring so special! ~Morning hugs and tea, Nancy Lee~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

I missed this yesterday but am so glad I found it this morning. There is nothing more pleasant to the ear than the sound of happy birds chirping. My poor little ones are freezing and can barely find their feeder with all the snow. Yet, despite harsh conditions, they continue to sing. A lesson for all of us, perhaps! Hugs, Marti |
