POEM OF THE DAY
Bluebird
A wistful note from out the sky,
'Pure, pure, pure,' in plaintive tone,
As if the wand'rer were alone,
And hardly knew to sing or cry.
But now a flash of eager wing,
Flitting, twinkling by the wall,
And pleadings sweet and am'rous call,-
Ah, now I know his heart doth sing!
O bluebird, welcome back again,
Thy azure coat and ruddy vest
Are hues that April loveth best,-
Warm skies above the furrowed plain.
The farm boy hears thy tender voice,
And visions come of crystal days,
With sugar-camps in maple ways,
And scenes that make his heart rejoice.
The lucid smoke drifts on the breeze,
The steaming pans are mantling white,
And thy blue wing's a joyous sight,
Among the brown and leafless trees.
Now loosened currents glance and run,
And buckets shine on sturdy boles,
The forest folk peep from their holes,
And work is play from sun to sun.

POEM OF THE DAY - MODERN POEM
Child Logic
The smallest girl
in the wild kid's gang
submitted her finger
to his tomahawk idea -
It hurt bad, dropping off.
He knew he'd gone too far
and ran, herding the others.
Later on, he'd maim her brother.

Stream To Flow
My love your warmth gives me solace
I feel that I am in beams of burning sun
Let my love to play with your grace
Without you my love there is no one
Who can understand me and passion
I am enthraled by your sweet charms
Without there is no style and fashion
Which can only come up to love norms
Your beauty remains a source of gravity

Passage Of Sir Drake, (2)
England! This spot of earth we call our home,
we bid farewell in departure's saddened tone
leaving those we love, those we warmly held,
driven from a landlocked world by the ocean's spell,
