whispering birds through wind and light rain

My open-ended lines can convey more than one idea. Verse 3, middle line, ends in “I am.” I am both okay (today) & puddles on pavement. whispering birds through wind and light rain no drama of wildly flapping wings & lightning sweetness in covered tones, under umbrella mine is red and white, candy-striped, mint moment at the beach, ebbed into tall mug heat of cream & coffee steam my a.m. lens just peachy in mid-May, Mother’s Day past don’t have to pretend to be okay today, I am puddles on pavement, swirls of mud and moss sounds of Spring tympanic, tinkling & symbolic dull day, verdancy not at all bright, nice chill still those tweets invite a kiss of heart, mind, soul louder tweets, grow, not as mad as thunder, tow not of under, nor rip; chorus of natural sequence and consequence, harmonious, non-disclosure biddies somewhere are moving their beaks cheeky in gossiping, speaking curses not kisses only man intentions to kill, imagines the hearse be sweet, as proverbial pie; as best homemade honey don’t terrify anyone with a storm of marmite words lightly flap your wings to visit the poor in your dreams thoughts cohabitate with nature, change moment to moment, pierced and pecked synchronization not numbed out by a blinding sheet of buffeting sound

I enjoyed the depth of your words as well as the feeling of tranquility and peace that comes with 'cohabitating with nature.' I also enjoyed the comfort that comes from recalling nostalgic memories. I liked your use of the word 'marmite words.' Perfect. What a pleasant read your poem is. Wishing you a delightful evening, hugs, Sara

Your poem beautifully captures the essence of a tranquil moment, where the whispering birds, gentle rain, and rustling leaves create a symphony of peace. The imagery of the candy-striped umbrella against the backdrop of the beach, the warmth of coffee on a cool morning, and the subtle nod to Mother’s Day past evoke a sense of nostalgia and contentment.

Oh, how much this says, and leaves unsaid, worthy of more than one read for sure- I read it more than once, and will add it to my favs, it's hard not to say something personal, because your writing this time was so rawing in heart, but I will just leave it with a simple "good work" and leave it at that- <3 hugs, Kim :) about the repetition of "bird qualities" genius!
