It Flew Away

A smiling dancing singing bird one day Came in cool colors in a rhythmic sway Hugged the pink twigs of a bleeding heart Pleasant current of warm air playing under the shirt Unfortunately I hesitated a little and the bird flew away ----------------------------------------------------------- February 25, 2016

This was really amusing, Probir. The image of a bird getting tangled in your shirt was playfully done. Though you could take it literally, I can also see a possible other meaning, where it's an analogy for love that "snatches you", but then eventually flies away ... such is the fleeting moments of life. I think the three -ing words, in a row, in the first line is a bit awkward for me to say out loud, but other than that, I enjoyed this poem.

Yes, now that you have said, the three --ing words sound awkward to me too. The missed moment suggestion is the nucleus. Thanks.
