The symphony of birds singing is so wondrous to me. I have seen murmurations in the live and they are one of natures most magnificent sights.

All God\'s creatures got a place in the choir
Some sing loud and some sing higher
Some sing out loud on the telephone wire
some just clap their hands, paws or anything you like now

For many animals we have a verb for the animal\'s making the sound, and another word entirely for the sound the animal makes. Dogs bark, they go bow-wow. Owls hoot, they go too-wit-to-woo. Sheep and Trumps bleat, they go baa and fake news! respectively.

You could feel it throughout the nation
their skyward gaze contemplation
the darkening skies
amazed their eyes
behold, their first mumuration

Two Hopes for Thee
orchidee said:

I suppose I could use \'thee\' and \'thou\' more in me hymns! Sometimes to get round non-rhyming words.
And also add \'est\', such as in knowest, takest, etc. Then I gotta count the syllables carefully if I do, as the \'est\' gives an extra syllable.
Do shut up waffling now, Orchi! lol

Light and shade and our perception. Yet you refreshingly bring feminine beauty along to colour the world too.

She was my elixir, my sensation\'s zenith, my addiction, my sacrifice, my downfall, my lesson. She was everything upon my lips.

In your verses are pictures painted in life, evoking from me a flow of emotion ... to try and capture a fragment of a yesterday.

Worded so clearly those needs for guilty quaffing your super three liner will most surely draw sighs \'cus toxic or not lips leave secret aftertastes after bouts of slow sipping - - - wow - now I need shower......x

L. B. Mek said:

how very clever dear Poet:
*within that \'tone\' you\'ve utilised in a seemingly unassuming first stanza - you\'ve somehow encapsulated that \'youthful element of life\' we all yearn to experience again...
*in that second stanza, versed utilising subtly archaic verbiage you\'ve given us a taste of language\'s once great past - we literary lovers yearn to revisit...
*and in your final few lines you note their passing while reminding us: that they are never truly gone from our lives, for we need only reach back and reminisce - fondly, free of bitter regret, to insure \'their love affair\' with us \'goes on and on and on\'...
Brilliantly witty, another great showcasing of your seemingly depthless talents my friend

Undeniably Brilliant!
such a delectably versed spectrum of layered insightful commentary, highlighting those widely varying corrosive aspects within our society

RDS said:

Why not beautiful? I guess the mind of a narrator asks no questions, just reflects what is and what happened.
Poor old Steve, if a poet has never starved themselves to be truly hungry, can they ever claim to be a poet? If a poet hasn\'t tried living on fresh air and water I\'d wonder how imaginative they are...
Sadly it is probably true as publishers would bid to sell the sansational find rather than poetic content. A real quirky good \'un Neville.
