Solid Gray Clouds

Solid gray clouds hover near here
Hidden by a thick misty fog
Quiet broken by birds' song dear
Who share limelight with tree frogs
Both now singing love's epilogue

A solitary soul upon the porch
Sun encased by clouds amassed
Songs of the Dove's from his perch
Cooo, cooo, cooo his song outlast
And the dept of the tune unsurpassed

Frost said there must be something wrong with wanting to silence any song, in your poem I hear the love songs of frogs and birds calling for mates. You found the tune of love's calling, nicely done. Robert Henry Poulin
