Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Free verse

Mother Knows - Repost For Indiana

Babes
flesh of her
with the audacity
to crown themselves 
lords
if not gods
masters of all
all
natural

fools 
at her feet

As every kingdom falls
Nature alone
knows immortality 




circa 2005

Caren Krutsinger May 24, 2020 at 4:41 AM Nature will thrive, no matter how many of us do or do not survive; such a true blessing and gives a flair of optimism. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 11, 2020 at 7:46 AM <3

Danka Sikorska May 17, 2020 at 3:56 PM That is true! She does! I like this poem's vibe. It's vivid, like a painting. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart May 18, 2020 at 2:49 PM Thank you Danka! I have spent more of my life as a visual artist than a word artist, I am thrilled by your critique! xomo

Lawrence Sharp May 13, 2020 at 3:27 AM Great write, Mo; closing lines were terrific. Tart is good, by the way. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart May 13, 2020 at 9:27 AM Thank you Lawrence! Thought I'd dust this baby off. I haven't yet tried squab. Want to. A fancier, I dream of keeping a flock of homers, and a falcon. As it is, when my two old doves die, I want a pet Giant Runt. Cheers my friend! xomo

Indiana Shaw May 12, 2020 at 11:05 PM Like a dandelion that breaks through the concrete, Mother Nature is indeed immortal, fools are we to cross her path, well worthy of a re-post I say . . . : ) Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart May 13, 2020 at 9:35 AM The dandelion and concrete yesss, she's wielded her golden head in more than one of my own poems. Here's looking at you kid! ~xomo <3
