I was just about to nominate this but Maple's beaten me to it! Selfish woman...

Take care, Mark

Beautiful Mark, just so beautiful. So glad this is nominated. Well done -

it is beautifully sad.... My best friend daughter was stillborn on my very birthday, May 23 in 2009.. we haven't spoke since .. Oh, his, my friend's birthday is on May 22 so yeah I kind of understand...
I hope this poem will be on the front page....

Wonderful images here Mark, you do capture a scene so well

Michael :)

Any poem with the song of the Robin described in a spring setting is a winner in my eyes.

Good luck in the contest.
