    Poem Commentary

    This poem is in the style of my favorite poet Ogden Nash

    The Pigeon

     The Pigeon is a clever fellow
    He coos his songs in tones quite mellow
    But when the Pigeon starts to hover
    The wise man will run for the nearest cover

    Your humor is more important than perfect meter. I must read more.

    This is good! Very funny. Sooo if they hover that means they are going to attack? Thanks for the heads up...so to speak.

    Thanks more to come

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
