Fly like a bird

Recently I can see only quickies... I am looking for something different. Don't be in the rush. Somehow this title is your prompt but please don't use it for the poem title. Be creative.

 

Original title will bring you some extra points.

 

I want a poem about a birds. Imagine that you are a bird. I am not interested to know which one. I want your poem written from the bird's eyes. I know what I want, all other is up to you.

Please make it good. It is about a lot of points, so do not be in the rush. I will read and comment when that will be appropriate to me because I will not be on-line for awhile.

RULES:

1. This time only free verse.
2. Left aline
3. NotHINg lIKe this
4. Simple background. pictures are allowed.
5. Not more than 25 line. This is enough for good poem. Well, I will not delete it if it will have 2 lines more.

6. Please use spell check. I do not want to struggle with strange words.

 

Have a nice time.

 

~Sonja~
