Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Got to thinking of an old favorite song of mine sung by Karen Carpenter. It was a huge hit for its time!

Bird Whisperer - Dream Boy

*Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near? Just like me,
they long to be close to you -   from “Close to You” by the Carpenters

How soothing are your whispers; how loving is your touch.
How tender are your azure eyes, and when you smile, Dear,
my worries flee! You have to know, I love you oh so much -
my Dream Boy, for whom -when you are near – *birds suddenly appear!

Bryan Norton July 28, 2020 at 7:47 PM Andrea, please tell me why Woodpeckers suddenly appear Everytime, I am near Simply said They like to peck On my head. On the day that I was born The angels got together, And decided that a dream would never do So they sprinkled sardines on my head And some roses that are really dead And a sleeping bag with Bean and Onslow too That is why, all the birds in town Peck my head, up and down Just like that I need a hat How about you? Andrea Dietrich July 29, 2020 at 10:14 AM You are a hoot, Bryan. Thanks for your rhyming comments today on two of my poems.
