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...

Thank you Lydi. I don't enter many challenges, but this one was fun to piece together. :) Julie

[Mai L Nissen]

Impressive :) It seems like the individual verse lines were meant to be connected like this - You managed to make the lines from different poets come together as naturally as small streams unite into a river!

[MsJewel]

Thank you Mai. It was fun to put together :) Julie

My comments dissapear.
So, like in said:
I remember when we wrote poems like this at the other cafe we were at.
But nobody does them better than you.

This is awesome.
