Angel-food.

No tonic compares to dawn's best rewarding
Blackbird-sweet melodies spilling abroad.

Silence drips with his chords, and his daring
Leaves shards piercing the crystal-clear air.

If only my pen could capture each rapturous
Droplet of sound, I would bottle the clearest
Liquidy notes, then unstopper and pour song
Over sufferer's wounds and before long free
Angel-food would lighten that soul with ease.

Of all nature's symphonies ever been heard
Nothing out-betters the notes of this bird.

With tuneful soliloquist stirring my sleep
I gratefully rouse and intend to drink deep

Alison Cassidy
My dear Fay, your pen certainly HAS 'captured each rapturous droplet of sound'. So go ahead. 'Bottle the clearest liquidy notes, then unstopper and pour song over sufferer's wounds'. Your final pair of rhyming couplets provide the sweetest icing on the cake of this scintillating, lyrical poem. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

This is a grand read for a Sunday morning. Indeed, I know the food you speak about here, you've captured it perfectly.

A beautiful wake up call Fay... "Of all nature's symphonies ever been heard Nothing out-betters the notes of this bird"
