Messenger

by Ethel Mortenson Davis

The brightly-colored
towhee
brings webbing
to repair
my broken,
gray world.

  1. few words… magnanimous emotion… beautiful piece mate!

  2. I’ve been reading the entries in your blog with great interest. You are certainly a very talented family and the poems, pictures and photos all offer so much.
    I went back through the entries quite a way. Perhaps, as you develop the blog, you could add on or two ‘widgets’ to facilitate browsing – one of the calendar devices for example?

  3. Hits the reader in the heart… feeling such empathy, and admiration of your writing skill – to make us feel so strongly – to make us resonate with your powerfully succinct words. There is beauty here, along with the sadness. Thank you for sharing.

  4. Nature has a most soothing effect, certainly the Towhee you use with succinct metaphor in “Messenger”…

  5. so much grieving in this heartfelt blog, my condolences to you both on your loss
