Doves Out My Window

this morn
outside my window
two mourning doves
just sitting 
looking in
cooing
ever so still
announcing spring
cooing
looking at me
as I at them

Gershon Wolf Date: 3/5/2018 8:47:00 PM Nice effect: Man looks at dove. Dove looks at man. East meets West; Spy vs. Spy. (Remember Don Martin's work at 'Mad Magazine?!')...At any rate, here's a yuk for you: When I read the title, I though "Dove" was a verb! Ha, ha, Pretty funny. :) gw Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 3/6/2018 7:04:00 AM You're so funny, Gershon. I hadn't noticed how that could be read differently than intended... what an inspiring image. Thank you so much for your bright visit and comment.

Tom Cunningham Date: 3/5/2018 2:35:00 AM I can just picture it Line, awesome sight, the little wonders of nature certainly make your day. Tom Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 3/5/2018 9:43:00 AM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Tom.

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 3/5/2018 1:18:00 AM - Maybe the dove will have some crumbs of bread - Lovely poem, Line - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 3/5/2018 9:40:00 AM Thanks for your visit, Sunshine. The poem is deliberately extra subtle with emotion so the reader hopefully takes it that step further. And here you are wanting to feed the dove. You are so sweet.

Cheryl Hoffman Date: 3/4/2018 9:24:00 PM How lovely Line; I could just imagine the whole dove cooing scenario! I just usually have my cat peek a booing looking in lol! (Guess he's a peeking Tomcat lol)~Che :) Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 3/4/2018 9:40:00 PM Thanks for your lovely visit and comment, Cheryl.
