feathered battleship grey
wingbars flashed
every bird in one
you clever mimic
aerodynamic sky king
jujitsu fighter bird
spiraling
into your twin
later
in the holly
watching and waiting
peanut butter, blueberries, the world!
on the fence
mailbox
rose trellis
birdbath
my heart
and mind
feathered battleship strewn
smeared twisted dashed
gone
vile oily slinking
dull matted pastis
feather on your lip!?!
locked eyes
smooth wood
silver comet
exploding rose
quiet
feathered battleship grey
kept your feathers
in a golden box
with the hawk and
tiny owl
4 years now
i'll paste them on my arms
and fly to you
in another lifetime

I was wondering when we were going to get another poem. So, so lovely . . . especially the last stanza.
Oh my, pup...beautiful.
very beautiful.
Like the picture. Confuzzled by poetry, as per usual. The only poet I ever understood was Blake and he was close to illiterate.
Does it mean you shot the nasty cat who's been stalking your bird-feeder?
beautiful
illumination
putting all of that detail
into the wing and tail feathers is visually striking, and suggests, too, a possibility of 'more' in these 'action parts' of flight
tumbling through ideas and images in your poem with one eye on the illustration is delightful -- i think they work together nicely
beautiful cool blue gray!
if this is you on your game, then rock on!

I know a good patent attorney if you need one! lol
love the poem...sad, yet hopeful. love the painting. i actually saw this painting on your etsy site several months ago and read what you wrote about your feathered friend there. this poem is a lovely tribute.
I dont know what is more lovely...the illustration or the poem.
It's as if you reached right into my nightly dreams, and yanked out that image! Only sometimes it's a Pug with wings instead of a bird.
HEy...lookin' again...the tail looks like spliced film.
Very nice - great imagery.
like the words
the bird
the golden box:
each object telling
your story...inside...
:)
I like the poem. I dabble a bit myself on and off.
Also read your previous post but didn't comment. It would have taken until next Tuesday! LOL.
kate: i dont think "patent" is applicable here...but i'd like to meet mr kate all the same.
foamy: thank you. i started thinking about it again as i do every year at this time of season...i loved that bird.
thursday: you are too kind, miss. (at your age you are still "miss") grrherhahaha
puerileuwaite: only if several women were riding you would it be your dreams. actually i think a reverse picture is in order. grrherha
aunty: neat! i like that
PhoKid: thanks and good to see ya!
un dress: welcome to the dog pound; the republic of hound...i hadn't thought of it, but that box would indeed tell my story.
