Bird

He
                                                   comes
                                                 flying
                                   in the 'morn
                             high above me
                       dipping and diving.
                      He sings a song,
                     a melody sweet
                    drifting down,
                   touching my
                heart and soul
               lifting my spirit.
              He spins and twirls,
         whirling in the sunshine,
        he floats on the breeze with ease.
   There is no fear of crashing down.
Oh yes, I admire his great happiness, strength and his courage
    I love his filigree feathers fluttering,
               white and wispy so delicate yet strong. 
                     Now he plummets downward
                          and calls my name loudly,
                             come fly today, fly
                                sweet earth girl,
                                   and I laugh 'cause
                                  I am flying, flying
                                in my mind, oh yes,
                                  gliding and falling
                                    drifting, twirling
                                         whirling down
                                              then up
                                                  high
                                                       high.

This is beautiful and worthy of the contest if you could enter it :) I am no good at shape poems. I can't get them to copy from my word document to the soup entry page... they mess up there and I don't know why - either way I can't get them to soup from my word. I love this so - it's beautifully done... Love and prayers, Gina
