A Bird Flying

                                                  the
                                                bird
                                            comes
                                       flying high
                                    soaring, drifting
                               falling from the sky
                              is he bring a message
                             for only me to know
                        drifting down, down
                      perhaps from mom
                     perhaps from my dad
                   from my grandma
                 the bird flies low, low
               I love his swirling lovely dance
             then, a wind current takes him up
        does he know how beautiful he is
Oh how, I wish that I could float in the sky like a wild bird 
        his bright eyes are looking at me!
               I imagine him a long lost friend
                     now, he plummets downward
                          and calls out so loudly
                             send your poetry
                                sweet poet girl,
                                   so I close my eyes
                                    and poems fly
                                       and I leave earth
                                          flapping my wings
                                             twirling, spinning
                                                      whirling up
                                                         then down
                                                           then
                                                               up

Very imaginative. Superb bird image in full flight. When I use my cellphone to create a visual poem I get a muck up. A tip of the hat to those with graphic skills. Congratulations! Brian
