Nuggets and nuances
Cleverly hidden in words
Speak in low volume

Under the songs of the birds
Who sings to anyone I heard

*Playful title based on Wayne Newton’s
rendition of Danke Schoen

    Oh, that is a cute title. Yes, a lot can be hidden in words–so true.

    Michael, I love this! I don’t know if I did mine right or not. Please check it out sometime and let me know what you think. This was my first attempt at anything other than my usual freeform style. Thanks! Blessings, Terri
