Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to a lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate.

These scattered images and thoughts on a bright summer day to me are like the exquisite patterns woven on a piece of woolen fabric....! The sight of the cardinal flies over your head mating, laying eggs and hatching make you wonder what your brooding would hatch and nurture....! You find the answer for yourself... 'at very least weave a fabric that will serve to cover the nakedness in the winter looming ahead....! Let me go a step further... and add.......your brooding will serve to knit a beautiful quilt to wrap yourself and feel cozy in the blasts of winter! ! Beautiful......! !

Tender sadness infiltrates this mind as I read your delicate imagery and feel gently, rhythms stirring within my heart and intellect. Your words create a mysterious magical atmosphere of summer, so starkly real, yet poetically imaginative. Your questioning of what your brooding will hatch and nurture does create a fabric that weaves itself through our thoughts, causing us to question ourselves also, making us wonder what we will inspire in others throughout our writing and lives. Very enticing thoughts through the imagery of nature. Another fantastic thought-provoking poem, Daniel! Absolutely loved it's path through my mind, as I read it! Thank you for sharing.

You have incorporated so much in this amazing piece of writing. From the lay-out of the poem to the imagery everything enraptures the reader. What will my brooding hatch and nurture? ....it's a very significant question. In the practical world, there's little we poets can do except inspire a few keen individuals to a higher plane of thinking. This is a political world where poets don't have much say. I must say that a combination of Nature n Literature has brought out of you the deepest thoughts on a summer day.10

the poem is so beautiful.But I feel there is some sadness running through it. 'as I brood over the vexed affairs of humanity.The cardinal pairs will hatch fledglings from their broodings and launch them into flight What will my brooding hatch and nurture?
