Corinne Curcio Poet Free verse

Even a Sparrow Soars

Even a sparrow soars
As its tiny soul
Climbs to great heights

Have you seen it?
Wings flat against the body
Brown bullet
Aerodynamically
Slicing through the air

Covering distances
In a twinkling
That we lumbering humans
Take minutes to travel

Surely it can reach heaven
More easily than we

Daver Austin December 9, 2009 at 1:24 PM Yes, I believe they can reach heaven more easily than we. Love this one, Corinne. We feed hundreds of birds every day in our backyard...mostly sparrows and starlings...once in awhile a bluejay. They're all the same to me...love 'em. Love, daver

Carolyn Devonshire December 7, 2009 at 5:07 PM This is why I love poetry so much. It allows us to soar with the birds and take journeys heretofore not imagined. Lovely work, Corinne! Carolyn
