The Fledgling

Missing image



Touched.. oh...so softly...
as with an angel's breath...
held  gently... on the wing...
dipping and swaying with
the flow..of warm currents..
light fractures... momentarily
as shattering glass...splintered..
colours radiate....highlights of
silver glisten....against the clear
blue backdrop.....broken only by
a blink........a heartbeat

I watched a bird today fighting with the elements and it's desire to land......

    Very enchanting, it took my emotions on a ride. This is a very good piece. I enjoyed it very, very much. Good job!
    My favorite thing about this piece though is that you can picture what you are writing in your head. EXCELLENT!

    Awe Lynne, as a bird lover, this really got to me. How beautiful and worthy of applause. Did you know MagicLady is having a bird contest right now? I'm not sure if it's closed or not but this would've been a great entry.

    It's desire and utter dedication to make a landing as perfect and delicate as it can make it. An breath-taking sight to behold. I love your use of "....", it just allows the reader to think while they read, which they need to do in an imagery poem like this. Keep it up, I like it a lot

    Oh my! This is so stunning! You have painted an awesome picture here for the reader Cutiepie. This is nature at it's best isn't it? So many inspirations. It's funny how nature gives us glimpses of hope every single day, in the most simple ways. I just love this.

    Thank you Jim ...according to the dictionary it only allows disjointed but I rather like "disjointedness" ....has a nice ring Glad you enjoyed this

    I haven't been by to read any of your new ones lately. Sorry about that. But I do like this one. The dis-jointed-ness {is that a word? } of the lines only adds to the feeling of watching that poor bird try to land.
    Very nicely done.

    Write On!
