I am very pleased to present a guest post from writer, poet, and fellow blogger, Kevin Morris.
https://kmorrispoet.com/
It is one of his poems from his collection, ‘More Poetic Meanderings’.
How Sweet and Sad Was the Bird
How sweet and sad was the bird
I heard
As I stood at my open window.
When I go
To the pub to meet my friends,
We will pretend
That there is no end;
Or at least hide for a while
In the smile
Produced by drink,
Which makes men think
That all
This will last.
But I shall recollect the bird’s call
As I stood at my open window
And know
That all
That sings must pass.
Taken from “More Poetic Meanderings” by K Morris. Available from
Amazon in Kindle and paperback here. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BZT9G139/.)
