There is something about the song
Of birds, on a cold, January day,
That makes me wish to stay,
Out in this wood,
Where
The air
Is good.
There song
Is long
As joy, or grief.
Although, we know
That joy is, too often brief.
The smile
Oft flits across the face, then is gone
While
Grief
Lives on
In the hearts of men
Who, when
They hear the birds
Pour out words,
To our feathered friends,
Who comprehend
Not our ends).
My dog revels in the sscents of grass,
Whilst I
Look up to the sky
And think “all this will pass”,
(A thought that he can not grasp).
Yet he, and the birds that fly,
Are happier than I.

My pleasure Kevin.
Beautifully written.
Our feelings change like the weather. You never know what the forecast will be until it hovers over you.
I like this piece.
Many thanks for commenting, Tiffany. I’m pleased you like my poem, and you are right that “our feelings change like the weather”. Best wishes, Kevin
Your welcome
Happy New Year
Reblogged this on K Morris – Poet and commented:
This is, perhaps, a somewhat strange time of year (summer) to reblog this poem. However, I came across it whilst choosing poems for an online poetry reading, and felt that it would be an appropriate piece to include in it. In the end, I did not read “Words on a January Day”, so thought I would repost it here.
