Notes About The Poem

Simple Mutterings - the Nightingale

Oh, with great delight, from
out of the shadowy night, I hear
a loud, powerful melody drifting
    such a mournful song 
                  with a chant soul-stirring
a songster with whistles that crescendo
  trills, chirping, twittering and gurgles, concerto lovely 
that sends my own soul on a journy into the depths of my mind, for
           beautiful memories 
      and faraway dreams yet to come . . .

Gregory Richard Barden February 24, 2018 at 7:27 AM Adore this, and we have no Nightingales here, sadly ... the Cardinals wake me each morn, and they have many songs as well. Sometimes a Mockingbird or Warbler or Meadowlark, but I'm fond of the Cardinals. This is a joyous celebration of music and nature, and I must fav! <3 Constance La France February 24, 2018 at 2:13 PM Greg, thank you for the nice comment and the fav. I love all birds and their different songs ~
