I would love to hear a nightingale: sing. I manage to find something on the internet but I think hearing it live would be a different/ better experience. *sigh* :)

I agree with Christopher's comment below this is a really wonderful. And I think I know why we both reacted this way, namely, you are very close to the moment of inspiration in writing this poem. The immediacy of the nightingale's presence means your moment of inspiration is captured in the urgency of the language. I think you could say this poem occurs in that part of your brain which writes poems, it's that close to the source of your creativity.
