Ricochet

The bird in the tree Singing so beautifully! Does not sing for me And yet, as witness There’s no doubt I benefit And am doubly blessed By the notes that play In delightful ricochet I deflect your way!

Wonderful poem John. I always wished I could trade places with a bird for a day and enjoy the freedom of flight. Continue letting your pen sing.
