Notes About The Poem

 

Bite Size No. 73 Contest ~ Sponsor: Line Gauthier ~ October 1, 2023

Chasing the Wind

I wake at the edge of dawn to hear songbirds sing.
A habit since a child, I love listening to their soft trills.
It's then, as the world in slumber lies hushed and still
that I impatiently loosen the reins of my gypsy soul
to run with wild abandon, free to chase the wind.

Jan Allison October 1, 2023 at 4:23 AM What a joy to read your wonderful description Lin but I sometimes wish I could gag the birds and their dawn chorus lol:-) hugs Jan xx Lin Lane October 1, 2023 at 4:26 AM What kind of birds live on your island, Jan? lol As long as I don't hear the rude caws of crows, I enjoy their songs. Based on my last two lines, I thought this was a good chance to use my avatar as the picture.
