Listen

Outside by yourself.
A golden afternoon
Solitary
Listen to the birds singing,
the dog barking,
the car passing in the street.
Listen
You are not alone.

    Oh and as an after thought, coming back to this poem you could use:

    Hear the birds singing

    rather than

    Listen to the birds singing

    because you use listen quite soon after that point in the poem and i beleive that this change wouldn't affect the overall flow of the poem.

    Ure first non-contamporary one!! It's really nice as well, sometimes a whim poem can be brill.
    Reminds us that even when you feel all alone there is always someone around.
