I do of course
write in a traditional style as well. You will find more
examples on the imagist pages.
The Nightingale
I am the
nightingale
and I sing
because I cannot sleep
and so my voice
searches in the dark
to write my name in song
I am the nightingale
so wound up
by the spring of life
that makes me sing
and I will never know
the consequences
I am the nightingale
Hear me and rejoice
that I
although I cannot sleep
have found a beauty in my soul
that I can share with you
