  1. Now, if only I could convince my darling mockingbird that 4 a.m. is just a touch early! The way the property here is constructed, it functions as an echo chamber, and magnifies the sound so much it can penetrate even closed windows and doors.

    I love and miss the robins. They were my childhood wake-up call. Such a beautiful song.

  2. Niki Sims Oracle – Costa Rica – An Oracle for those seeking honest information. You ask a question, I provide an answer(s). I even ask questions about my own life and this site is a diary of the multi-dimensional aspects of this life, plus reflective of what 'Journeying' is all about - for me... Journeying is a native american shamanic meditative state where guardians and assistants are met.

    So inspiriting. Each morning as I open my email and click on your link there is an understanding in me that a visual prayer is approaching. And still I gasp at each one. Thank you.

  3. Kat at travelgardeneat – Life sometimes gets so busy, we forget to stop and smell the roses. Travel.Garden.Eat is a reminder to slow down and enjoy the things that make good memories and replenish the soul!

    As we continue the long winter, I wait to hear the robin’s song outside my window!

  4. wildsherkin – Sherkin Island, Co Cork, Ireland – I like to make things, and I don't always have time and space to do that. Sherkin Island is a tiny island off the south west coast of Cork. It's one of the Carbery One Hundred Isles in Roaring Water Bay, just a ten minute ferry ride from Baltimore in West Cork yet a million miles away from my day job.

    How lovely – music to my ears!

  5. typewriterpoet – I enjoy many poetry styles but enjoy short poetry the most and a little bit of microfiction, but the challenge of a long poem has it's enjoyment as well!
    typewriterpoet says:

    “Make your home near mine” so sweet, I just love this!

  6. Your poem evokes a fortunate symbiosis. We have had robins for weeks now–they seem to have a nice dignity.

    It is spring here in Vancouver. We await the robins nest building, just a few feet from our door. Two years ago they tried desperately to come into the house. They tapped at our windows, looking in longingly. I love you robins – but no – you can’t come in our house. They left the nest building for so long the first egg was laid outside the nest. I’m not sure if it is the same robins, but for two years now we have robins nesting in a cage hung against the wall close to the kitchen window. Our comings and goings bother them not in the least. They are true poetry to watch. Virginia

    Love that little bird in the tree. Lovely expressive words.

  11. RMW and BTC – We are problem solvers, who are very interested in the relationship of mathematics to interactive human behavior. We believe that with only four postulates and two corollaries we can account for virtually all IHBs, gain a better and more truthful understanding of ourselves, discover a more global form of education, and understand the precise conditions necessary for world peace.

    Beautiful verse and photo.

    The Robins are back again here as well! Waking up to their song can be so vitalizing! Happy Spring, you have an awesome writing style that proves there is beauty in simplicity. Sometimes people, including myself, can get swept up in writing long epics before we know it. Thank-you for calming my own pace, and I look forward to some more of your inspirings. 🙂
