Notes About The Poem

This poem is about meekness

Beakless Bird

Shrinking is this strength, the will is weak
Slow is this personality, spending eleven days in a week
In the world of human rights, here is a geek
An angel left her feather for this soul to pick
To act as fast as a tortoise is considered too quick.

Toothless, spineless and a giant bird without its beak
a life of two candies, just take one and lick
to be wholly independent or to submit to someone and be sick
easy is the choice, but the latter, this person seeks
an eye for an eye is never a box to tick
sacrificial and gentle like no one else, is the meek.

I'm fine, had an operation over a year ago on my spine to free up trapped nerves but I'm well on the road to recovery. Hope you are keeping well. Tom
