James Fraser Poet Rhyme

A Birds Eye View

Millions of eyes look down
What do they make of us
Scurrying like ants
Going about their day
People going to work
While smaller people play
 
Metal carts on blackened tracks
Floating shapes on their back
Metal birds fly overhead
Their roaring engines we all dread
 
Greened fields like 3 D Shapes
Clouds below like earthly drapes
Fauna, shrubs trees we perch
We congregate like natures church
 
Us winged marvels, as we soar the skies
Swooping down, millions of eyes
Look above is all we cruise
As we look down
A Birds Eye View

Carolyn Devonshire May 7, 2009 at 10:52 PM Wow, James! When I fly in my dreams, I have a "Bird's Eye View" of everything below. You describe this unique perspective so well! Is it possible we have out-of-body experiences and meet as souls in our dreams? That would explain many things, my beloved Highlander!

Lena Townsend May 5, 2009 at 5:21 PM A great write, rminded me of a friend of mine saying that he didn't want to be a bird because he might get ate by a cat... LOL He said, "It is great just being me!" He had an intresting point and a great sense of humor. Your writing is so lovely and the visuals are amazing. Thank you for the reminder of my friend and for allowing me to share...LOL Congratulations on being featured this week. Smiles from Lolita
