Heart To Heart Poem by John Agandin

The day was damp and raw
And I was down and stuck in the doldrums
But on the powerlines outside my window
I found two little birds in intimate talk
As they spruce their feathers away
With cute little beaks that tweet!
They sat right next to each other
With their little feet about the copper wire
Quite immune to the power coursing within
And talked forever about heaven knows what.
I wished I could understand their hearty chat
So simple, so intimate, so beautiful!
No Facebook walls, no Messengers,
No WhatsApp, no Snapchat and emojis
No Instagram and finger Twitter-ring
No posts, no comments, and no tagging
Just good old plain talk, eyeball to eyeball
With little chance of misunderstanding
And no thoughtless forwarding of garbage
I sighed in envy of them and smiled…
Suddenly the gloomy clouds parted
And the sun shone brighter than before.
So my day was saved.
