Notes About The Poem

 APROPOS OF BIRDS OF DIFFERENT FEATHERS

 

Feathering their nests,

Off they flew to labors of love:

Working against war:-

Time for us to be as doves:

Where love is, war cannot be. 

 

Today’s bald eagle’s 

Symbolisms are reduced; 

Except that of war:-

Time for us to be as doves:

Where love is, war cannot be. 

 

Can’t clip a dove’s wing;

They’re eternally jointed:

But not the eagle’s:-

Time for us to be as doves:

Where love is, war cannot be.

APROPOS OF BIRDS OF DIFFERENT FEATHERS

APROPOS OF BIRDS OF DIFFERENT FEATHERS

Feathering their nests,
Off they flew to labors of love:
Working against war:-
Time for us to be as doves:
Where love is, war cannot be. 

Today’s bald eagle’s 
Symbolisms are reduced; 
Except that of war:-
Time for us to be as doves:
Where love is, war cannot be. 

Can’t clip a dove’s wing;
They’re eternally jointed:
But not the eagle’s:-
Time for us to be as doves:
Where love is, war cannot be.
