Where Rare Birds Sing

Golden rays filter through rustling red leaves Oscillating fall colors to rhythms of evening Amid sounds exotic as animals roam freely Deep into wilderness, where rare birds sing, Where trees groove merrily to musical winds, Whirling, weaving motifs of autumnal glee; While leisurely they stroll, exulting playfully, Exchanging stolen looks of notions romantic, Divulging, without words, secret love-missives Lying dormant, yet simmering for some time, Virgin passions strumming enamored minds Revealing now openly, fervent beats of life. “Oh! how I wish” she says, “to live in a cabin, lingering timelessly, savoring realm pristine, of blazing autumn prairies, burbling streams, wandering to spring reveling your company;” As moonlit vibes sparkle, love in bashful eyes, Rejoicing first-ever kiss, blissful in paradise. January 3, 2023 Placed 7th: Feel Free Poetry Contest Sponsor: Sara Kendrick “Autumn leaves don’t fall; they fly. They take their time and wander on this, their only chance to soar.” Owens, Delia. Where the Crawdads Sing. Based on quote 7 above.
