Some birds only mimic what they hear
Dropping sounds and syllables inside my ears
Alliteration without configuration
Seeds may sprout despair
My questions and your answers
bring only stares
Cause you don’t know the language that I speak
Some birds only mimic what they hear
dverse is asking we bring some inspiration to one of 6 paintings of Artist Jacquline Hurlbert.

I specially like this line: Alliteration without configuration. Those misunderstandings can spring from not listening at all.
