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 Sponsor Mark Toney Contest Name Poetry Marathon Mile 14 | Sept 15 2022

Very nice, Vie. I enjoyed your poem about early morning, and, since it is not my favorite part of the day, I relished the verbal images. Congratulations on your P.O.T.D. honors.

A very tranquil way to start each day, it’s strange the first thing I experience when in the countryside is indeed the silence, then the intermittent wildlife sounds, congratulations Rose on a potently peaceful POTD, cheers David

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

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

It is a French word that means whisper, thanks for reading Jeff :)
