Ah, two of my favorite things in a poem. I see a beautiful robin, and baby's breath both quite clearly, wanting this to happen immediately if not sooner! Delicate and delightful, Andrea.

Is baby's breath some kind of flower? Received a call from a woman whom I hadn't spoken to in years. We got together! I am still single - maybe that is best for me. But I do have close female friends. Who knows what the future holds in store? Love will find a way! A new anthology is coming out with my poetry in it! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Oh I can just see you in your garden, Andrea, looking up at the little bird's nest. And, Baby's Breath? What other plant could compliment the idea of a baby bird so perfectly?
