Bold Blackbird, you break this hush:

cinder scented early hours

a memory of flame,

your voice insistent

as if our Sun

would never rise again

 

unless you trilled possession,

in your version of its name.

Beautifully done - thank you. I also love the blackbird's song. There's a dreadful avian flu outbreak here and I haven't seen my garden blackbird for a while. I'm worried about him

You are very kind in your comment. Yes, the out break has been creeping up and down the country for some time, we've taken the decision not to refill our feeders as it may do more harm than good, I do hope your resident shouty beastie comes back

best regards

Just seen this - beautiful. I loved that it's all in one sentence, speaking directly to the blackbird, you've titled him Bold Blackbird which gives him attitude, the words cinder scented and...well, all the words, in short. And for reminding me of the unbelieveable sound of a blackbird singing.

I'm astonished and delighted that a small allegorical doodle should find such a appreciative audience.

You are all so kind.

Best to you
