Sorry, opheliac, but I don't grasp, understand this poem. Ar first I thought the man was dreaming: but then how could he be "whistling?" I can understand how any of us can facilitate a bird to chirp, but "cause, especially a bird outside where I presume this poem is occuring. Well. . .I'm not sure where the poem is taking place. I love the last two lines but they seem disconnected from the first two.. To me you have something in this poem but you are not expressing it so, at least this reader, gets it.

No the man is not dreaming at all. The man wakes up content - despite his gloomy nature- so he whistles. Due to his delightful whistling, the bird's chirping can't be compared with him. The paradox occurs when he wakes up content on a gloomy winter's day. I hope this makes things easier for you to understand:) Feel free to ask further questions nevertheless.

These verses are beautiful.
I read your words as if they were Haiku. Precious Haiku.
Merry Christmas, sweetie.

They started as a Haiku to be honest but ended up as nothing like Haiku!
Merry Christmas to you too Luca :)

I am inclined to think you might be standing back a little too aloof on this one Hun. Whistling right out of the gate seems misplaced, like it would fit better at the end maybe ?
let me think on this some more :)
