Do You Hear What I Sing

Once upon a time dinosaurs ruled the universe with loud, commanding voices. Now, humans rule the world with even louder cacophony. Today, I think, birds choose to speak softly to balance human’s clamor on this planet. In this book, the author hides behind these birds to amplify their voices, pride, meditations, thoughts and feelings to stifle human noises. The speakers in each poem are these noble birds themselves: seagull, dove, hummingbird, nightingale, canary, woodpecker, cuckoo, vulture, mockingbird, flamingo, peacock, hawk, owl, oven bird, curlew, swan, cardinal and the list goes on, for a total of 51 flying creatures. Every bird is asking you the same question, Do You Hear What I sing. Can you hear them? This poetry book is for those who are tired of noises and longing to hear some true voices.
