Sequence-Swallow Me,Swallow

southwards
to the sun-
follow the light,
annual migration's
begun-
nomads
of nowhere,
without a care
baggage,passports or cheap
airfare

Wonderful poem Brian - i loved this one - a favorite - Could you please check my new post colors and let me know if they meet the guidelines for your new contest - as I understand you'll post two more blogs referring to the contest and then we add to this poem making one poem out of three - Is that correct? - Is your newest blog part of the contest or is it separate? Sorry for the confusion Brian - God Bless, your friend Michael

i agree with carolyn..., the "snowbirds" from up North will be flocking to Florida before the first winter chill. And many of the birds have already arrived "without a care, baggage, passports or cheap airfare." waht a great piece! love and thanks i got your soupmail

Yes, the "snowbirds" from up North will be flocking to Florida before the first winter chill. And many of the birds have already arrived "without a care, baggage, passports or cheap airfare." Delightful read! Love, carolyn

Carefree, a design of God. Of course not totally carefree but it is nice to dream on catching those currents and flying high or being a migrating fish that follows the ocean currents to the other place for another season. Nicely done in a few short words. Brings thoughts that can relax. My elevated blood pressure probably went down. Keep writing. Sara

And Solomon in his regal garments had not their wealth. This piece made me smile, Brian! Thanks for shaing your gifts and insightS, and for your constant support. Blessings, Donna
