Morning Chorus

In working on Today’s Poem, I noticed that there was an opened door as it were, for myself to use my disability within the lines of this Poem. BUT it only becomes visable IF a reader breaks down the words used and understand that I took advantage to use this in a Poem.

I have a hearing impairment which means that certain sounds, tones notes ect I will be unable to hear, unless I was wearing my hearing aids which help very much. But with a little discomfort Like elevated volumes from certain sounds that pierce like a dagger.

This is the first time I have used my hearing loss as a tool in a poem. For the purpose of helping to grasp the feel of sounds that one would catch when walking.

This Poem begins with a walk in the early morning light! Imagine a cool breeze seems to follow as you walk and the sights you see fill in the Morning Chorus. There is a most beautiful Chorus in the silence that one would find, IF they themselves keep as silent as the hearing loss appears to the eyes that see these sights.

Following the walk one will find animals, One could find in Ireland although one may be most lucks to find some that easy. BUT Come enjoy this walk in the Morning Chorus and feel the Beautiful song that touches deep within.

About The Poem:

Again this poem is in AaBb rhyming patern and use of alliteration I believe adds to the quality of this Poem. I am always interested in hearing and reading readers thoughts and feelings on poetry and certainly in this one. I am still learning and using what I learn when I feel it works well with what I write.

The Morning Chorus is for the most part a silent song that striked you deep with, when you take time to stroll on paths that animals go about their day, where a person could add to this Morning Chorus. If one had perfect hearing then all sounds could be added to this chorus, yet for one like myself, viewing all these animals etc move about add in their own way to “The Morning Chorus”.

I know some will notice that my poetry are finally hitting an area where I hope would fit within the standard of Past greats in Poetry. Not being one to take that standard as my own But I wish to reach a standard in composing a poem that will be on that level.

((Added after first published this Blog Post: What would one call that strage animal in the AI generated Image? Part hare and part Bird? ))

Having said all that I have; Please Enjoy This Poem:

I have started to use AI to create Images that suit my poetry because they work best for the moment. So any usual credit etc for copyrite etc goes where it should go. Not the best picture for this Poem But I believe it works for the Topic of the Poem.

Morning Chorus




In morning’s mellow mist I moved,
Where woods were wordless, silence proved.
And The sun slipped softly past the pines,
While wandering winds drew wistful lines.


Through golden glades I glimpsed with glee,
A fox and rabbit roaming free.
They paused to praise the pulsing song
That stirred the stillness all along.


By bramble-banks a badger bold,
With careful claws through clover strolled.
A herd of hinds on heather high,
Like whispered wraiths went drifting by.


The hares in hazel hollows hid,
Then leapt with lightness, none forbid.
And blackbirds broke the boughs with cheer,
Their notes like nectar graced the ear.


A hush of heaven held the air,
As golden grace grew everywhere.
Some gentle force, though far, felt near,
Like light that lingers, calm and clear.


Though softened sounds may slip me by,
I feel the forest’s faithful cry.
In silence, too, the spirit sings—
Both hush and hymn bear golden wings.

ENDING THOUGHTS:

Thank you for following me on my little journey, that is composing or writing poetry. If Life is a journey which we all walk on and my journey in creating Poetry is a journey of it’s own. Which I still learn much on as I write.

Poetry is a form of art work that I enjoy and thus using it in a manner to touch or inspire the reader.
