I have wished a bird would fly away,
And not sing by my house all day;

Have clapped my hands at him from the door

The famous poet had greatest self-awareness, so magnificently ended with: And of course there must be something wrong In wanting to silence any song.5 Great STARS.

And of course there must be something wrong In wanting to silence any song. /// The minor bird is the hidden poetic mind which wanna fly more high or flee away from the chaotic life; the poetic mind wanna sing but sometimes it feels good in silence- Who will say what should be done of this poetic mind

'And of course there must be something wrong In wanting to silence any song' - Yes, a song is sung to be heard, not hushed.

Very true. That must be something wrong in silence what a poet..a bard...a bird wants to sing/write. The bird was singing a discord...the wrong key....yeah that could be irritating. Interesting. I have a " little birdie" ..it sings in key but when i fill in syllable and words to the tune sometimes its uplifting sometimes accusatory.

Amazingly composed by Robert Frost. An excellent metaphored poem Simple but most beautifully worded. Must I give immortal poets 5 Stars? Well, with all pleasure, but he cannot take notice of that anymore. Tad pity! I have enjoyed reading this so many times. Congratulations to the family of the late great poet Robert Frost.

In name of minor bird Frost managed to convey how we suppress others only because I was disturbed. How mean I become as I silence the bird's song. This inspires me to pen one for my collection.
