Notes About The Poem

For the Featherless Angels Poetry Contest of Ink Empress

________________________________________________________________________

Featherless Angels

Featherless angels – they abound.
Maybe you don’t know it. I say
they are everywhere. Look around!
You’re likely seeing one each day.

Think of the kindest soul you know.
Featherless angels – they abound.
They speak well of everyone, so
hateful words? You’ll hear not a sound.

If you still don’t know where they’re found -
here is a clue: they’ve human form.
Featherless angels – they abound,
and daily good works they perform.

I think we’ve all met at least one.
In heaven with glory they’ll be crowned,
for doing the will of God’s son.
Featherless angels – they abound.

Very well written about featherless angels, so true they are everywhere, featherless angels if only we look around and really appreciate and see them for what they are. I love how you’ve rhymed here too! And the flow of your words! Absolutely stunning! And deeply touching! Congratulations on winning. Well deserved

They scribble tiny messages across the frosted window-pane, but who can decipher the vicissitudes of a blustery existence?

Yes, Fearless Angles are invisible, but they come around in the hour of need.

Yes, indeed! We have met them leading the way to goodwill of humanity. A special kind of people they are among us. I like the form you used and of course, the substance you delivered, Andrea.
