Through the window,
silent -
yet I know
the sparrow sings.

i like how subdued it is. the quiet lets the last line sing.

I love the previous comment that if poetry had a mascot it would be a sparrow. Do you mean, perhaps, 'silence', rather than 'silent'? As I read it that adjective tied itself to the word 'window' making it a silent window, which seemed a little strange. Perhaps that word was intentional. I read some of your comments and there seemed some refreshingly intelligent thought behind them. I'll now go and read some of your other work.

Hope, that is what it makes me think of.

I especially like this poem because it is extremely short.

The sparrow lends itself so perfectly to poetry, doesn't it. I mean, if poetry had a mascot it would be a sparrow. Of course, your work is consistently great and this poem fits right in with that greatness.

This is lovely, Scott, and perfect in its simplicity.
I know you will hear the sparrow again, someday.
