Night Birds Comments

A bird watch tells time!

I really like the first stanza! !

A refined piece from a true poet! Thanks

Your use of assonance in language is enjoyable. Read mine - We the Unencumbered - Adeline

Luvli poem on a luvli subject and the words flow so well, thank God for birds and words like yours...regards

Gives a glimpse of the night birds in their darkened habitat. Hope they’re careful. We want them around as long as possible.

lovely rhythm, a nice poem to read aloud.

Well in touch with nature... most enjoyable... thanks.

Lovely especially the lyrical section in brackets, richly descriptive and a fine read.

A beautiful verse - rhyme, images, emotion - its all there

I really like the parenthetical 'mini-stanzas' - glad the poem ends where it does and we don't get to the gory bits...! Just a note about the second stanza - the word 'breath' doesn't agree with the verb at the end of the second line, 'lie' (should be 'lies'? , though obviously this would interfere with your rhyme scheme) .

Another great poem. Love the way it rhymes :)

When I can see the intended image produced in rhythm and rhyme, this makes for a great poem and I'm jealous because it wasn't mine.

Love this Valerie! Theo Onken

Be it hooting owls, whippor-wills or Poe's raven, this is somewhat suspenseful. Val- I believe you spelled journey wrong-forgive me

Valerie, You are quite the master of this type of write. I see Owls as well... And i just love your mastery of rhyme... This had the feel of a touch of the old style which i love. Theo

O night birds keep singing and spread your words...twinkle like a star in the sky, blink blink light through your smile...keep fly and bring us follow your spirit to that high! _Unwritten Soul

Atmospheric and a wonderful visual opening, there seems beauty and pain in equal mesures here, tyvm for sharing a touching write... karen

So many fledglings don`t make it, so sad, another wonderful poem Val.
