Come Sit By Me

COME, SIT BY ME ( to Emily Dickinson) Emily-- Come, Sit by me -- We’ll watch the singing chicks Starlings searching --always searching on Searching--hopping through the plucky dawn as the blue jumps from the sky-- We'll watch determined style never stopping always hopping chirp in single file There must be a lesson in the birdlife that we see Never finding what they seek but happy as can be. Victoria Anderson-Throop 2013 (rewrite)

Victoria, dearest, I stand with egg on my face... I remember now this exchange. I suppose 79 years of life have dulled the recollection skills of this old wordsmith. Since I can't unmail my soup mail, You'll have to disregard it.... "Come Sit By Me" is a terrific post and I look forward to reading more of your work..... Jake

When I stop and listen closely I can hear Miss Emily reply, "Why yes, my dear, I'd be delighted"..... Victoria, if only for an instant, Your pen and ink brought her back to us.... Thank You... Jake
