Mirror , Mirror Tale
MIRROR , MIRROR TALE
Zealot tundra wonder --Decked in blues of summer sky
You never flee the cold
But rally boldly on---
Taunt the Valiant Golden Hawk
Whose daunting wings yearn for the sun
In
Blackest days of December
Winter Tundra Bird
persists
daring frost kissed beauty
Roving with the Ravens
Magnificent indigo flourish
Against Alaska White
Jay Bird on a bender....
Strutting the fjord.
Blue brilliance
Pearl kissed Head
Cocked in splendor
Starlit eyes
Flashing miracles of Mysteries
Forward
flitting
to a beat hop beat
Cadence
Unheard by human ears
Daring his spark of life to linger
cold ignored
Beat hop beat Beat
At a time
Swiftly shifts in
Cruel winds grace
a
jay-hop
at a time .
Eager nimble Eager
Searching
For seeds of spring
Beat hop beat
Each
Snow step hop Step
Woos closer
His Lover’s dance of spring
Promise of delight
Brightens brilliant
Snow
Eyes
Fresh flakes Flutter
Fresh-snow blink Flutter
Blink once
Blink-twice again
Silhouette against winter white
Flawless.
Bold .
Without a doubt--
Blue flame of sky
You
dare the crouching fox
with every
blue- brash
hop
Arctic
Cowboy
Sass
Dawn breaks enchanting
Sun-dogs circle
Through Bare Black Trees
Sun shrieks
her
Icy Claws
to touch your Jay
Bird head
Beauty finds a voice
Songs of splendor spin round the world
on wings of venturing ravens and roving sparrows
magnified multiplied
Shimmer Sun Shimmer Sapphire Blue Shine
Spin Around the World
in Persia
Roving Arctic swallows trill Jay praise
Raven Tributes rave of Arctic’s lovely creature
proclaim him the Prince of Beauty Undenied
Jealous
Sovereign Beauty now dethroned
The foolish
Prince of Peacocks
Quakes with Rage
despite his
Heights of Glory
Perched on a golden fence
The Spiteful Splendid Creature
Tumbles
Screeching
to his death
of
Dirt
