Notes About The Poem

Seven Words Swirling

 
it is dawn in the city
and all is quiet and hushed 
today, I wrote seven words . . . 
the streets are windswept still
a lonely soul-   I wander
painted pigeons follow me
my page of words swirls away

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart May 16, 2020 at 5:06 AM Oh wow. I love this to bits. Beautiful penning Constance! Congratulations on POTD! My house is littered with canvases of Bank St rooftops lined with pigeons. I remember clear as day the big gorgeous showy white homer escapee doing his courtship dance, joining the flock; and looking for who might be his offspring for years after. A FAVE. <3 xomo!
