    Poem Commentary

    A true story about my son and the dream my great aunt had the week he was born.

    The Blackbird 3

    She asked to go,

    With the blackbirds three,

    They sang in caw,

    Not time yet,

    We’re here to let you know;

    She asked when,

    It been over eighty years,

    Soon very soon as the little one comes

    They repeated each in harmony;

    Five days later the first of June

    Three birds came

    And away four flew

    Five days later the first of June

    Her great nephew arrived the blackbird new.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
