Sky engraved in song

by Larry Chamberlin   Jul 16, 2011


It should have been harder
to let you run valleys away;
there should have been remorse
for what I did up here anyway.

The birds have taken up
a song we did not write,
even more enchanting,
chirping high in flight.

You slipped from our mountain
into some woebegone strife:
an endless trail, deafened
to the sweet tunes of life.

Never again will you hear our
trill enhance the morning climb;
for me, the sky has been engraved:
that mockingbird now sings mine.

    The reason I chose this piece out of your other one was because of the intense emotions that you gave everything for in your poem. The opening grabbed at my heart- to ponder back to that memory, perhaps you should have held on more? You introduce this background of song so beautifully and with a gentle flow-the ending sings of a misery made solo, and your ideas came across artistically and with great sadness.

    Keep it up dear poet :)

    LArry this is just amazing, I took the same title just because the poem you wrote was very professional and amazingly flowing!
    The meaning touched me, and the rhyme of God how you make me wnna write rhyming poems again.

    this is just perfect, honest!

    ^^ I love this stanza.. so pure and spontaneous!

    The flow was great and so was the images.
