Imaginative warbler,
instinctive tunemaster,
brilliant dialectic shuffler
and refiner of sounds.

Accomplished innovator,
virtuoso impressionist,
evolutionary composer
and sweet pilferer of songs.

Moments of filtered life,
Mimic, mime, mocker,
the maestro swallows it,
skinny legs and all.

Authentic birdartist,
not enough your mimicry,
your brazen thievery,
exceeds all others by far.

Burst forth with new verse,
for no explicit purpose but
to exist as sheer pleasure,
the purest art of them all.

No witness is necessary
and no ear is required,
but there will always be
still life with mockingbird.

One of the best poems.....

I have read on this site or any other site. I believe the numerous adjectives in the opening paragraphs were purposeful, and very powerful I might add. And for once, it is nice to read a poem that has no spelling errors or other structural problems. This ought to be used as a prototype of how to write an effective poem on Literotica. God bless you, Steve Porter!! (Gotta love those male poets!!)
