The finest opus of Nightingales
A paradise where birds
sip nectar from petals that

Such beautiful imagery, dear Holly!
Roses under snow … I see perfection here. The roses would be frozen, their perfection not to whither until the thaw, whereupon new roses would grow.
It wasn’t until the second reading that I caught “mock sinners lullaby”.
I had read mock singer’s lullaby.
Sinner is so much more poignant. It may have had something to do with seeing Smokey’s face below the line.
Your pen is like Flower Power, a calling to love, loves and lovers. Ink that heals. xoxoxo

Love can be a two-edged sword, can it not! It doesn’t come by itself, that which we so often lull ourselves into believe, dream or sing about. I love the duality in this lovely poem. Beautifully done, Rene.
