Word Is a Verb

Words are verbs
And poems little birds

You can feel their wings wording
When upon your soul alighting

Hi Mac. A fun read. I wish I had your brevity but I am known and sometimes shown my uncontrolled and far too bold contentious penchant for verbosity. Keep em' comin' Mac. Tom

Frustrating, those days a bird doesn't alight and I can't lure one out of its roost. Very nice, Maureen. So short but very true.

Yours was the window this one flew in from :) S'pose it is like birding, the more you look the more you see. Picked up a "Where's Waldo" book after birding a few years, was ridiculously good at spotting him after training pattern recognition bird watching. Doesn't help much huh lol ;)
