I read below and enthused over the joy birds (at least certain ones) bring you, I know the feel, many things of nature and other can bring it. It's an awesome vibe inside, I think because one's soul has been touched. Beautiful Monoku ... CayCay

Always unique, dear Maureen! First the weeping then swifts churning and an exhale. You say much in this one liner…a headliner! Bless you!

Maureen, you have a keen concept of something special. It is a sight to behold and the way you pay homage to it does actually bring tears to my eyes. What a beautiful world we would have if more people could appreciate what's in it. Tears and smiles!

My perennial muse. I dread the spring that they don’t return. My first poem here is my ode to them, if I am remembered by one poem alone I have long hoped it would be that one. I’ve painted and sculpted them, now working theme in different printing mediums. Maybe I’m obsessed. Your words mean more than I can say, thank you. xomo
