The Perchoo

by Glenda Collins

In the blue forest, a lone dove lands

Trudges through dirt, mud, muck, and sands

Then through the thistle, briar, and wood

Searching alone, misunderstood

Taking to tree top, then high in flight

Birds view above- nothing in sight

A perch-oo is sung, from branch above

A sweet, lonely, love song cooed from a dove

An echo in the blue forest heard

Ohr-ohr, she sings his awaited reward

From deep in the blue she's returned the call

Then a frenzy of wind stirs up a squall

A storm's heartbeat, suddenly calm

Rejoicing, the songs join with aplomb

Fluttering wing-whistles, two will unite

Their sweet love song, sung, under moonlight
