idea taken from a verse of one of my earlier poems...
lovely dove who doesn't sing/big, hurt eyes and broken wing
who stole your tune to keep it for his own?
Who dragged you from the sky by silken wing
to snatch your song and leave you lying prone
at mercy of the winds, afraid, alone?
Is he remorseful now he's caused you pain?
No; heedless of the pleads your eyes intone,
he's gone and left you crying with the rain.
He's gone to celebrate; he's won the strain
of lovely melody that once rang true
all through the woods, 'cross fields of golden grain
---which, songless now, sigh mournfully for you.
Oh, lovely dove---hurt eyes and broken wing...
what are you worth, now you no more can sing?

lovely dove who doesn't sing/big, hurt eyes and broken wing
What Are You Worth?
Oh, lovely dove who weeps but cannot sing,who stole your tune to keep it for his own?
Who dragged you from the sky by silken wing
to snatch your song and leave you lying prone
at mercy of the winds, afraid, alone?
Is he remorseful now he's caused you pain?
No; heedless of the pleads your eyes intone,
he's gone and left you crying with the rain.
He's gone to celebrate; he's won the strain
of lovely melody that once rang true
all through the woods, 'cross fields of golden grain
---which, songless now, sigh mournfully for you.
Oh, lovely dove---hurt eyes and broken wing...
what are you worth, now you no more can sing?
