A melodious blackbird

A melodious blackbird

came to rest on my shoulder.

As it sang, its feathers

moved in a rhythm

giving me a dear

sense of happiness.

What a beautiful picture you embroider for your reader in this charming poem, dear poet! I can only imagine what great joy the singing of the blackbird brought you. A beautiful gift for sure, so relaxing and pleasant. Delightful poetic gem! Thank you for sharing, Tony...

Beautiful imagery. The rhythm of life.

What a very striking picture you paint for your reader in this succinct poetic gem, dear poet! How amazing to have a beautiful blackbird with feathers gleaming in the sunlight, alight on your shoulder to sing his evening song for you! I love the sense of joy he brought through his animated singing. I hope he revisits very soon again so you can ink another lovely poem about it. I really love this poem because the visual detail is so clearly painted and I could see it all taking place in my mind as I read. Wonderful write, Tony. Thank you for sharing with me this evening...
