Love Birds

As birds are fitted to the boughs

twined together and as is customary

we sing together; we sing mouth to mouth

and in the sweetest passage of a song

all the longings of a lifetime answered

I look at you and sigh...

Wow! All of these lines worked together so well. Continuity is really difficult with collage pieces, but you're like a weaver Julie! You made such a beautiful tapestry of words. Wonderful job!

two birds singing in harmony from the boughs
entwined with gods love watching as they sing a love lullaby from above

Julie, When I read this I just wanted to pour a nice Merlot and go for a soak in the hot tub. When I realized I didn't have wine OR a hot tub, I just read your poem again and the read PROVIDED me with that level of creature comfort. Very nice, Julie. take care...dan

Love birds, did you know that birds mate for life as do wolves we could learn a lot from nature
