Home-Coming Pigeons

Home-coming Pigeons Most treasured part, from the rest, Is the inside of a Pigeon’s breast: * Pigeons are a swift and furthest flier Yet, back Home they always retire; Unlike lovesick men; a headless nail Who sink both their head and tail! * Pigeons’ wingspan is incredibly long... Pray! Toil must make hands strong. * Pigeons’ tact, manoeuvre and poise... Evade the Devil with Hymn’s noise! * Power of sight in the Pigeons’ eye... Lucifer’s lure we must quickly decry! * Pigeon’s nest in obelisk of Church... Holy shelter Pigeon chicks to hatch! * Pigeons’ Partners are the happy most, In age or in ailment love’s not lost!! * Most treasured part, from the rest. Is the inside of a Pigeon’s breast!!

A hymn to pigeon well-deserved and marvelously expressed! A true incense on the altar of our flying friends! Excellent my friend! Thank you!

I'm not terribly familiar with pigeons, but this was well-expressed nonetheless. Good write, JM :)

Archaic. Thanks for visiting. Pigeons are friendly birds which feed from a stranger's palm in the street without qualms. Those that rear them for food praise the breast as succulent. I've rather drawn a divergent picture to that effect; "the most treasured part is the inside of a pigeon's breast!" Thanks Friend. JM
