Seven Pigeons

Seven pigeons sitting cold in the snow, upon a street sign trembling; and the snow is falling. As if on cue they fly on snowy wings, circling the city buildings; till a safe ledge is found. Beautiful they smooth their heavy feathers, sitting quiet in the cold; as snowflakes drift about. How I wish my own weary heart could fly, and as winter blows and roars; I could just fold my wings. O, but could I fly like seven pigeons, and close my eyes to winter; and the snow is falling. ___________________________ February 16, 2013 Poetry/Kimo/Seven Pigeons Copyright Protected, ID 02-456-987-16 All Rights Reserved, 2013, Constance La France

Each Kimo stands on its own, but together they create magic, melancholy and rather thoughtful images. Wonderful poetry as always, Constance!

Constance, these five kimo together make lovely poetry. Some of the kimo can even stand alone. WEll done. You were inspired by the pigeons and the beautiful snow.

Shortly your strength will be renewed by spring. You may not be aware but you fly each time you put your pen to paper and you take us along with you when we read your words. Well done with kimo x5

I am so weary and tired of this Canadian winter, although I do admit there is a beauty to be found if one looks beyond the bitter cold.
