and why so?

A Poem by Alm

Something is wrong.

Every night before I slept,

I could hear a humming nearby

When it disappeared, I wept

And asked, everything I could: why

Did the hummingbird die?

Something goes wrong with this poem. Something is wrong with the first two lines. Or more. ;) Forgot the form.

The longing for the sound and the realization that what we needed to sleep was something we have never admired or noticed is amazingly put here. I thought you would mention that the sound was a nuisance, or something similar to that; but you have surprised me by changing it into a longing for it. Well done.
