First Tweet

Quote: Some of the best speakers in the world 
are those who were listeners first....

The rain gently whispers to my window I am here 
as the trees chuchot to each other with terms of endearment 
The endless sky has an auditory hum as if to say 
you might be drenched today 

The dawn is singing acapella as she readies for a dance 
while the daylight waltzes softly on the steps of day 
The hour of seven has just begun for me 
I can hear the handles clocking free 

The silence is louder than the noise of mid afternoon 
yet softer still then the silent stars of heaven 
The day has just begun and I can already hear 
the first tweet  of a birdling musketeer

John Gondolf Date: 9/13/2022 4:25:00 AM My favorite time of day is the early morning when the rest of the world is still fast asleep, just me, my coffee, and poetry. I enjoyed the read, Vie, congrats on POTD. John Login to Reply

Jeff Kyser Date: 9/13/2022 4:17:00 AM I like this rhyme pattern, abcc? It has a free verse sense at first, and then a succinct couplet; very interesting. Congrats on the POTD. I am unfamiliar with but intrigued by the word ‘chuchot’ in the second line Login to Reply Mystic Rose Rose Date: 9/13/2022 10:10:00 AM It is a French word that means whisper, thanks for reading Jeff :)
