Be Very, Very, Quiet

The sparrow hawk is so near dear!
Shush, shush, or, he will surely hear.

Yes, yes, you are a rare beauty
with a fine voice, a real cutie. 

Enough tweeting, be silent please,
we’ve a nest full of babies, geez!
 
My sweet song bird, I’ll free your beak,
if you would only shush, don’t tweet!

My mind is a scary place to be Debbie...I am drawn to Anne Frank's movie where if they made the slightest sound, her family's life would be in danger. ....Perfect rhyme and a couplet delight! Congrats on this write!....Looked at your contest tonite. with a 20 page paper to write for skool, I have to be careful that I don't major in poetry instead of what I am really studying! haha. Great work-Gwendolen

thank you for kind comments on the site, this a good flowing verse and I liked it for what it is worth, anyway, if you have a prayer and a association with our Father please say a prayer for Carolyn Devonshire, she is very sick and needs the Lords help along with our help we know that it's according to His will in all things, with some special prayers from us maybe he'll not take her right now, God bless
