Featherless Angels Poetry Contest - Sponsored by: Ink Empress

Featherless angels are sent from above To show the world the true meaning of love.Quote - poets own The featherless angel who never flew The one thing which angels would love to do Wings didn’t grow as they were expected to So as an earth angel she lived life through. Sad were the moments the angel would sigh Wishing to sprout wings, a warrant to fly Perchance to dance amongst stars way up high And wallow in rainbows that brighten sky. She cured many a heart sadly broken With her magical celestial potion Coming from her heavenly devotion 'Twas the featherless angel's pure love token. The angel was honoured to raise loves dearth Doing all that she could to restore mirth Helping the downcasts to find their true worth Knowing they were loved and a star of earth. Blessed are the kindly living on earth here Many are the horror stories they hear That's when unfeathered earth angels appear To restore peace in a heart filled with fear.

such a delicate and inspirational poem about featherless angels. They do dwell amongst us...could be our neighbor, a retail clerk, anyone, who's steeped in kindness and peace. I sincerely enjoyed your creation, Belle. Best wishes for the contest, enjoy your evening, Sara

This is gentle and yet so inspiring, I really 'her wings never grew as they're supposed to' - not all angels have wings but they are still special~

Indeed there are angels all around us - God's messengers. I love this poem. It is filled with so much love and tenderness. I wrote a poem, based on a true experience, called Angel in the Whirlwind. My angel didn't have wing either! Sending my gratitude for this lovely poem and blessings!
