Written 13th June 2025 - Inspired by the song "When Doves Cry"

 For Prince Roger Nelson Songs Poetry Contest

Sponsored by: Karen Jones

 

Doves cry when the earth is being disturbed When there's conflicts and war they are perturbed For doves are the dear Lord's symbols of peace They bring olive branches to help wars cease. Doves also represent the joy of love The golden gift from heaven up above They coo-coo-coo to attract their life mate Then build a nest for them to populate. Doves sing their song to tell you that they're near A song that's soothing and moving to hear Their musicality is a calm balm Alike listening to a holy psalm. Stay as innocent as doves Jesus said Never let evil thoughts enter your head Doves appear when one has a troubled mind On angelic wings, bringing love sublimed.

Very timely for 2025, esp. now. Doves are surely weeping crocodile tears. Thanks, Beryl.

Sorry for being late reply to your much appreciated comment Gershon. Doves will be weeping their tiny hearts out with what’s happening in the world. Thank you, Beryl

Beryl, my take from this is that they are always there. We only have to know how to look. You are incredibly sweet and only bring smiles to us.

your rhyme scheme was so smooth and non-obtrusive, Beryl. I agree 'their musicality is a calm balms--like listening to a hymn without words. Well done! I feel soothed after reading your words. Have a pleasant evening, Yellow Rose
