the love bird glass

the milk so much sweeter
the truth so much easier
from the inside of
the love bird glass


fill it with joy
or pour out sorrows
hands in prayer surround
the love bird glass


listen to the rain
hit the roof like a heartbeat
quench a thirsty soul from
the love bird glass

    A toast, my dear, to love, with the love bird glass:

    May it alight on your heart,
    and bring you spring
    when all the flowers grow.

    Slainte!

    (Visiting from Poetry Pantry. ) Enjoyed both the picture and the poem. I think we all need these love bird glasses.

    So much sentiment from a glass. Nicely done.

    This is neat, using uncommon connection words, and love bird glasses.

    You are talented and clever.

    This was fun.

    I like how you wrote "love bird" and not "lovebird". It makes the word endearing and fresh.

i don't like eggs but you knew this already i know you're thinking such a terrible waste but it's not, you see i'm feeding them to the dog she loves them just as much as i know she loved you and the way you walked her as if every single thing she sniffed mattered to you as well sorry, dear pardon my red wine opera crowd violin string tugging (your words) i ramble at breakfast like a fussy percolator but you knew this already morning is when i am most honest and vulnerable i know that's why you left after dinner oh god dammit you i miss you so much what i did before us is a mystery and what i do now is insanity i'm frying up eggs just to smell them again and to perhaps coax you down, from wherever you are for breakfast did you know i believe that there is still a ghost of a chance Rene Foran ~  April 2011 photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales click for more info
