Listen to poem:

Pigeon Woes

pigeon
scavenger >
freedom
 seeker
 in full flight
wingspan stretched across blue skies
a peaceful glide on summer sunlit breezes
in harmony with laws of universal energy
surfing and soaring all day long
  then resting on his
       x   x
       x   x 
       x   x
  pigeon toes
