Suddenly Swans


Suddenly swans flocked in my direction,
As I fed them pieces of Wonder bread,
A swan with a black mole over its heart 
caught my idle attention,
It swam slowly and was the last one 
to eat the brown bread.
Everyday, I began to feed the swans,
And the one with the black mole 
was always the last one,
As if it wanted to linger behind,
As if it had a special attraction towards me,
All other swans would disappear 
after eating the pieces of Wonder bread,
But not the one with the black mole,
She and I would have a conversation,
A pleasant one about love and fairytales,
We formed a special bond 
Near that beautiful blue pond.
Suddenly swans and I were friends.

How lovely your lines are expressed in this fresh poem of precious imagery that touched me with sweetness only nature and her creatures can lend to your sweet writing pen. You've gifted me again, Jo, with another smooth flowing write of lines that bind my feel in prime poetry appeal. Good luck in the contest and all else ... CayCay
