Song Bird Comments

Poor Orpheus to lose his Eurydice Such I true love This was a beautifully constructed poem I loved the line 'Each phrase a snowflake with its six sharp points' enchanting

At last a single note to punctuate the night, And then the stanzas start, Each phrase a snowflake with its six sharp points In perfect pitch, and like the snowflake Patterns subtly changing, phrase by phrase. I gaze above but cannot see the source Of this melodious wooing, ___________Extremely beautiful write- - - - - - -Thanks for sharing..

Thanks, Robert. I noted that the nightingale often uses a six beat call, . Obviously he is trying to copy me with my penchant for the Alexandrine. Or it could be the other way round! The Blackbird is more commonly heard near me and it too has a beautiful call. Bird song is amazingly rapid. One bird emits sounds at about 30 times our speed! I just forget which. If I remember I'll let you know. I haven't done much reading over the last few days. I was doing some Work just for relaxation but I'll be back reading soon. By the way you are second on my favourites' list with 11 hits. Only Judith, who I've known a lot longer, is ahead of you! So, keep up the good work!
