Blackbirds

   
                                        ... along the fence line blackbirds gather

                                                                the sound of leaving
                                                                                  ... dark as their wings

    Excellent and sensitive poem. I have to remind myself, they don't excuse their departure; they simply return next year.

      Thank you, Geo. I'm always grateful for your insights, especially when you help me see my own poems with fresh eyes. :)

    Dear Teresa, Geo's comment broke open the poem for me. Thanks to both of you. Peace.
