Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

The Bird

Did not the Bird,
warn us, by his airs?
Fewer by day...more by
night – the owls survive
longer! Did not rodents
warn us?  Depleted by
owls, they both now suffer.
Better men open their eyes
to Light – for, even swooping
shadows, will not long survive
such night….

Valsa George July 14, 2025 at 11:54 PM The birds and animals are able to discern the signs of time. But we humans don't learn anything or care to pay heed to their warnings. A meaningful poem in your signature style, dear Joe. Joseph P. DiMino July 15, 2025 at 6:23 AM Thank you, Valsa; what's the old saying? You can take a jackass to water, but you can't make him drink...people have allowed the devil to transform them into jackasses. I join you in prayer.
