A Fleeting Thought

Rating: 4.9


I watched the days
and time
fly by

Sparrows -
their songs too brief

Aren't we all just little sparrows and now with technology so cheap, we all, on 'Twitter' tweet, tweet, tweet..... but for this little sparrow, please, write more poems such as these; -) Ruthy (alias 'Little Sparrow' come read mine...please) : -) (oh gosh, I do hope you've heard of 'Twitter' it's this new internet site you see, where people write down their thoughts...otherwise you might think I'm completely out of my tree, heh heh)

Wonderful use of metaphor. The loveliness of your fleeting thought lingers in the mind. Warm regards, Sandra

I've always found sparrows to be rather insignificant little things, your poem brings them to life though. HG: -) xx

A fleeting thought, perhaps, but the one that most definitely lingers....less is more and every single word here counts. Lovely Chuck...

Days move in ages, and time in moments; sparrows live many days, but a song is gone in a moment of wonder. BEAUTIFUL poem Chuck.
