Lovely sounds Brigid, the clock and the bird. I did not hear any cuckoo's this year which is a pity. Beautiful birds. Silence broken is a good one!!

We have cuckoos in May usually and their sound is the true coming of Summer so they say. They are well known for laying their eggs in other birds nests!! I sent The Red Crayon off of publishing with Every Day Poets and they have accepted it today. So happy about it!! I will post it here when it has been published by them in September I think.

Brigid, You are funny, I will never be anyone beyond "me" but you were the first person I shared it with and then sent it off for publication, not because I seek fame, I want to spread the word, enable others like me to speak about abuse within a the family which is not alright, not now and not ever

My parents had a cuckoo clock that my uncle brought back from Germany and I remember laying in bed on very quiet nights and listening to it ... it had t be a quiet night since it was in the living room which was down the hall. This poem reminds me of it.
