A Sweet Sparrow Tweet
How can such sweet song
come from such dull coloured birds.
Their striking bright rounded tones
are sown in my memory to grow.
Oh, pale morning, I hear from the tree,
hidden in the deep greenery of leaves,
a pip, a peep, a bleep, a trill and burst.
O’ the bubbling squeak of it all.

Yes, marvellous reading – so enjoyed hearing your voice – and wonderful soundings – ‘o the bubbling squeak of it all’ – says it all really. Bravo and thank you.

Considering that this starts with a question, it’s still quite evocative. I enjoyed the delight in your reading.
