I like your style of writing. It is so informative. Our pear trees are blossoming along the streets in Harrisburg now, just as you described them. The song of nature is so sweet as you say too. God Bless you and your wife too. Lois C.

You are a truly gifted poet Jon. You bring the visual into your works which is so essentital. It separates the novice from the master. You're the kind of poet I want to feature at my website.
May your pen never run dry.
Blessings,
Marcia

Jon,
This is rich and vivid, fully alive, full of being and becoming; that 6th line, "gaping beaks screech the melody of hunger" is outstanding and I'm envious I didn't write it, but a great poem doesn't rely on just one line to carry it, it needs them all, and you, my friend, have delivered. Excellent work!
John

Sorry there is no serene song of spring. The beauty you describe is unbearably remembered in this bland, almost seasonless existence. The only respite is the varied song of the year round mocking bird who imitates every other love song for his mate this time of year.

Jon, I grew up in an area where pear, peach, cherry and every other blossom were blankets upon the hillsides like clouds floating directly from heaven, where spring lasted an eternity, and all the life and twitter as you described it so beautifully. A full deck of spring cards you handed out here, I could smell the air, thanks for the reminder! Blessings! Jasmin Horst
