Not Every Bird a Singer

Not every bird a singer
the crow more like a
frog

not every bird a sweet
melody
the parrot fondest of parody

the goose more like
an intersection horn

when I vocalize in the shower
dutiful drops seem hurried to be
gone

down the drain
with this poem

Speaks Volumes Date: 4/11/2023 4:08:00 AM awww that sounds so sad. Its a sweet poem. S crow with its fine black feathers looks majestic as it flies.. No voice for singing its true, but not every bird is a singer. I like this. Its destiny is not the drain. Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 4/11/2023 9:24:00 AM Love the crow!

I play drums also. We all get along. What the heck. Life is too short to waste time complaining. Thank you, Victor.

Joe Maverick Date: 4/2/2023 1:57:00 PM I don't get the hoarse lawn part Joe maybe s Typo.? Oh no..Or maybe not..?Let me kniw Whether it is so.? Or just so and so.. I don't Know..Its all real strange now I have thought Of opting for bad dreams to offset the daily Horrors of our so called caring society's Diet sheet they tell us eat.' Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 4/2/2023 2:25:00 PM Hoarse voice, meaning the lawn can't clearly sing its green, choked by weeds -- weeds of man's mind, interfering with melodious expression of a spirit in Godly-tune. Maybe not so good a write. Thought it was ok but I will keep looking at it, perhaps make changes. Thanks Joe. Yea I know, the daily garbage fed to society via so-called news is pathetic...and they don't care that older folks see through it. Their attitude is, complain all you like...but there is nothing you can do about. Can't vote us out any more. Nah nah na nah nah! The US and China are buddies now. Police state noose tightening. Israel moving in the same direction, huge protests.
