The Skylark

Somewhere in the park

The early skylark

Sings with verve, his stolen notes.

Weaves them with his own,

Makes them his alone.

On him the rapt poet dotes.



The poet will write

How  in late of night

The small skylark sings his song.

He flies very high.

He seems above sky

Sounds like the sky sings along.

Hi Joyce, Perfectly describes how we can hear a bird singing but on looking for it, seldom is it visible to the human eye. Although it uplifts our spirits at the time. I enjoyed reading your interpretation very much. Good luck in the contest. Regards Theresa xx
