The Moaning Dove 2

I pay attention with subdued

breath as heartfelt echoes

reach into my

spirit and I arise eagerly.

His callings may be

for a wayward love or friends

missing this time of day

without sun to bring warmth.

The nervous dove cuddles with

an array of sounds

prepared to meet any need

upon urgent demand.

of "The Moaning" already published

Good. I like this second version more although it's not at all like the first, it's been almost completely re-written. A bit more joyful though!

Thank you Tom. Writing is surely fun, eh? I just posted my latest poem -- The Blue Jay. Hope you like it. R
