Skylark
in Spring
Trilling
sound
falls
from on high
raining
music
saturates the air
melody
pure
crystal
clear.
Skylark
in Spring.
Small
dot unseen
origin
of sound
musical
charm
sweet
is the tune
spell
binding
captivates
all.
Skylark
in Spring.
Liquid
sound spills
delight
from the sky
trickles
down
from
above
male
hovers
then
plunges to earth
birdsong
persists
this
heavenly music.
On
Bodmin moor
delight
to be heard
Ahwesydh
in Spring.
(ahwesydh - Cornish for skylark)

Oh cool, now I know something in Cornish! :-) Beautiful poem!
Lisa @ Two Bears Farm: Sadly Cornish a dead language and no-on knows how it is pronounced! There are of course enthusiasts who want to revive it. So pleased you liked this poem. :)
Now I'm wishing I could hear the skylark!
Perfect! I can picture him now!

Beautiful poem, I wish I could really heard your Skylark!
Watching all of this was fun
Evokes the surprise in me about the altitude from which small birds can make themselves heard. Sound - and music - is a fantastic thing.
Keep up the Cornish! For my part I'm working hard to make sure that Lincolnshire Gibberish doesn't die out!
EG Camera Girl: It was wonderful.
John:: I am so glad that you can.
eileeninmd: It was so magical.
Out on the prairie: So pleased you could picture this scene.
The Owl Wood: This is one of natures little wonders, without doubt.
Birds' singing-a symbol of spring, always awaited!
Wonderful to see the sunshine and color in your words after the cold and gray and mists of winter!
Beautiful poem. I can close my eyes and hear that Skylark singing... Our birds are singing like CRAZY these days!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
Ola: Spring is most definitely here.
Mitchell is moving: It is so good to see sunny skies after endless days of grey. The skylark singing was the icing on the cake!
Betsy from Tennessee: Good to hear you liked my poem. Thanks.
I love skylark song. I've recently discovered several places where they sing round Edinburgh and it's just wonderful to stand and listen to them.
Crafty Green Poet: After I wrote this I heard them again at St Agnes! There song is music of the most beautiful kind. So glad that you found them to listen to near you.
Lovely musical poem to celebrate a lovely bird. I love listening to them on the coast path and of course Lark Ascending is a beatiful piece of music.
Yvonne: I was taken away by the wondrous music and tried to capture it in words.
Love the term "Raining music' Claire, that really describes a Skylark.
Roy:Finding the way to describe this superlative song taxed me to the hilt, I am glad that this one worked for you.
