My Feather

Fluttering, drifting to and fro it soars it dances in the mighty wind it twirls, it swirls There upon a sheer jagged rocky cliff an Appaloosa horse of many colors stands majestic There under this blazing azure sky an Ojibwa girl looks at the beautiful land of Canada There in the mighty wind that roars a feather lost from her raven hair, quietly moves There far below the Ottawa River thunders and the vast lands of wilderness stretch to the horizon There above in a perfect sky eagles soar, symbolizing "The Peoples" strength There in my spirit dream the only sound is the wind that moves my feather Fluttering, drifting to and fro it soars it dances in the mighty wind it twirls, it swirls ______________________ March 21, 2023 (Repost) Poetry/Free Verse/My Feather Copyright Protected, ID 03-1532-991-21 All Rights Reserved, 2023, Constance La France Submitted into the Premiere contest, Strand No 1201 sponsor, Brian Strand, Judged 03/22/2023 Eighth Place

"There" is a beautifully woven poem of vivid images and striking metaphor, Constance. I love the way you brought the two basic elements together into a lovely painting painted by words. Congratulations on your win! Sending you all the blessings of the Easter season.

Your poem beautifully captures the powerful connection between nature, spirit, and the human experience, and the imagery you create is both vivid and evocative. Well done!
