If Birds Could Talk: A Selection of Portfolio Poems

The poems in this third collection further explore the world of nature and the people who live and thrive within that world of nature, partly because we humans have the capacity to listen and hear what the signs of nature can teach us, and partly because of its sheer beauty. If the artefacts of nature such as the sun, moon and stars speak to us directly, we are obliged to listen carefully to hear what they have to say, at the risk of seeming stone deaf if we ignore their messages. When birds speak, we have a duty to listen.
