People like the black bird in your poem, searching hard for their pair, yet when they finally got together, they must ended everything in the end. A broken family, maybe because they were not soul mate since the beginning.<br />As usual, I love yr poems, but this one a bit hard to read in my mobile, because of the color of the letters. :-)Neneng Tariganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01246751871415766917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839632013669425872.post-54933171355256849452011-12-18T20:51:14.486-08:002011-12-18T20:51:14.486-08:00Right.

These days, many men are more than glad to just be sperm donors, and some women do not expect their men to be more than that.<br /><br />Gorgeous bird, btw.AJhttp://ajpoliquit.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/lament-for-the-littlest-fellow-in-bohol/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839632013669425872.post-71357393847311087652011-12-14T01:53:34.905-08:002011-12-14T01:53:34.905-08:00This is beautiful and somewhat haunting.

It all starts in the home, good or bad, Mother Teresa had an excellent quote on this, I should try to find it and post it. :)Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564805397010089954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839632013669425872.post-84360401324522325232011-12-13T23:59:16.687-08:002011-12-13T23:59:16.687-08:00Well, it takes a man and a woman to keep the famil...Well, it takes a man and a woman to keep the family together, ladies. <br />The genesis of this was a bird that has staked his territory around our block and has been calling for a mate for the last 3 weeks. Sadly, he's out of luck as the area seems to be short of females.<br />So he's still flitting from tree to tree singing his heart out.<br />While my wife and I were discussing the bird, we were also chatting about the sad state of affairs at her day care centre where so many of the young kids are from single parent families, after partnership break ups.<br />On top of this, a lot ofour generation's kids are not entering into marriage, as we did. Some are settling upon raising children on their own, with one gender missing.<br />So the poetry was written to encourage discussion along the lines of what changes are occurring in our modern society.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618511960243841803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839632013669425872.post-45226880743296311192011-12-13T23:38:30.385-08:002011-12-13T23:38:30.385-08:00Beautifully conceptualized.Beautifully conceptualized.JANUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06983287092498427967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839632013669425872.post-52916543000591360132011-12-13T23:36:37.328-08:002011-12-13T23:36:37.328-08:00There I was, enjoying your poem with a smile on my...There I was, enjoying your poem with a smile on my face - and then I got to the end. Great poem. I'd like to think some of us out there are doing our bit to keep society in one piece. :)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259736008093281882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839632013669425872.post-35346688819724805522011-12-13T22:20:33.928-08:002011-12-13T22:20:33.928-08:00This is such a powerful piece of writing, Jim.
