Abdulhafeez Oyewole Poet Free verse

A Pigeon Eyed

A Pigeon Eyed
 
A pigeon greeted me
 When I was at it, reading
Walked herself in through the ajar ingress
  She sniffed and picked from flaw floor of scattered grains
She swiftly savored them one by one
  Through her beak to the neck
Conveyed to the gizzard and the next

Her visitation, the wonder I long evermore
 Only that she was terrified at first our eyes met
She wriggled, quivered, stunned and then flew
 An august visitor I would love to welcome once more

Michael Miers September 9, 2014 at 5:51 PM oh, so well written. the process of physical to ideal is an important tool in creating poetry, I think. a whimsical piece; a poignant and imaginative piece. thank you.
