The Dawn of the Robin

The Wren may be many a thing, but has it heard the Robin sing? Both a sight to set your eyes upon, with their gifts of song before they're gone. Waking me up at the break of day, first I heard the Wren in his dismay. "I fly in all three worlds, I'll take you there, I share my lore with all who's fair." So I followed the Wren into the woods of old, entered a sacred circle to join their fold. This path I've chosen was walked by few, only to learn that the Robin also knew! * * * * * * * Each bird has its song and if you hearken long It becomes your own now another is known

I liked the poem because it gave me the imagery of my mom whistling with the mocking birds in the morning. Great write! I do have to say the very last line seems like it could be cut to "another known"... And still work with the flow.

Excellent write... we should all more follow the path of nature... I had robin's nest next to a birdhouse on a "shelf" under my awning...then sparrows moved in to the house! The 2 species weren't the best of friends, but they all survived unharmed and all the babies flew away :)... and the robins had 6! ( 2 sets of 3)

This is one of my favorite poems by you. My favorite part is when they enter the sacred circle. Anything can happen then, Knowledge is a trifold experience, so is soul learning. Birds are very wise creatures, they know the path long before we do. Have a wonderful day, Hope to read more from you. Soon
