I wish you would reveal why you coo so sadly. What then, if not a broken heart? I wonder if you're perennially cursed with sadness Do tell me, dear mourning dove; the symbol of peace, many say. Are you truly at peace? STRAND COMPLETELY NEW (10), any form,any theme Sponsored by Brian Strand (Winner: Honorable Mention) Date written: 07/16/2020

Wow! That's thought provoking, Edward:) I too do not like to listen to the dove's cooing..

Thank you, Jo:-) I don't dislike the cooing but I find it rather befuddling. The mourning dove always sounds more pained than peaceful to me, lol.
