Bottlebrush

Bottlebrush bushes arrived from exotic lands,
Common sparrows roost at dusk,
Hundreds crowding onto branches,
Like city apartments,
Though you cannot see them.

Choruses of sharp chirps compete,
With human voice,
And I smile,
For there's no knowing,
What all the gossip is really about.

Excellent. I really like the image of cities of gossiping birds. Nice picture too. :)

How nice for your comment to be the first!

I couldn't find a better format for the drifting thought this effect always creates in my mind, poetic cadence seemed the only route.

I know, I'm sorry I've not been around properly for the last few posts. I've seen them but been too busy to sit and read them properly.

I think maybe you should take the poetry idea of this and play with the language, there's something great in this imagery, I think you could do more with it. :)
