This is a well-crafted poem. The poem reads and flows well. Each stanza connects well with the next. Your last two lines stood out to me. Nature has a way of bringing species together. Very nice poem.

This was such as beautiful poem! I love just wandering our grounds listening to the birds chatting and calling one another, and perhaps hearing the start of a wonderful relationship. Thank you for posting!

Good morning,
Thank you for sharing this well-structured poem. I loved the imagery evoked by your words. Even without the picture, I could see the bird as he landed on the tree top. Awesome imagery here,
~Mustang~

This is a fun one about never giving up in the search for love. Sooner or later, we will hear Ohr Ohr in response to our Cooing. Just gotta keep on trekking through the forest of possibilities.

    Yes! June you nailed it. A true "lovey dovey" poem. :-), not just for or about birds. About the search and the thrill of finally finding the one. Thank you so much for reading and for the review.

This whole presentation from the poetry, storyline, picture and font makes such a lovely entry! The dove alone, then finding its mate, by way of its call. Very nice! :-)

    The poem matched my mood, blue from feeling sick but loving the high woozy feeling from the cold medicine. Hehe

Thus is beautiful. Your excellently constructed color scheme gives the entire piece a nighttime dreamy feel.

I think this word is missing an 'e' :

I enjoyed the sounds related in your poem of birds singing to find a mate. Some fine rhymes with a slightly uneven flow here. I adored he sentiments.

I'm not sure what a (perch-oo) is Glenda? Perhaps some notes would explain it to us?

Love Dolly x x x

    Awe, thank you Dolly. I will absolutely go back and put some notes in. Wrote this late last night. A perch-oo is the sound of a doves call, usually the male when looking for mate.
    Appreciate your review.
    Blessings,

    I have never heard of that before Glenda, how cute x x x x
reply by the author on 10-Mar-2024
    Dolly, I added a website that has the call sound and some information.
    I have some other notes from another source but have not added yet. The sound is the nearest part though. Thanks so much for requesting, and your interest.

Glenda, the attraction for me again is the under used cursive...There's just
something about this throwback to romantic love notes, secret rendezvous
and trysts. Your lighthearted persona of "doves in love" is no different...I
love the onomatopoeia of "perch-oo" and "Ohr-ohr." so cute. teafor2

    Awe, thank you so much for your encouraging words and review. I'm so glad I found a kindred spirit with the cursive font. I think some of the writing just isn't right in any other font but cursive. You would be surprised how many tell me it is off-putting and difficult to read! Yikes. Oh well, I am sticking with what feels right to me. So glad, I am not the only one. Appreciate you. Have a beautiful Sunday!

"A sweet, lonely, love song cooed from a dove" touches one's heart with a sweet melody. A similar sensation to a train's lonesome whistle in the night, and the flutter it creates deep within. Thanks for sharing.

    Ha, please don't take offense. Term of respect only. I spent a week in GA, I was ma'am and Ms. Glenda all week. I know where you're coming from. Not sure when I became a ma'am. I certainly don't feel like a ma'am :-). So, let me promise to do better in the future young man and thank you for your reviews, youthful humor, and being a good sport with my ramblings 😁.
