Notes About The Poem

The sparrow touched down briefly..Looked directly into my eyes giving me a poem that is penned for life..Sara

The Small Tan Sparrow

The Sparrow took a break from flight
Approaching with landing gear down
Touched upon the white painted post from height
Looked directly into my eyes with his eyes_that clown

Those brown small eyes directly into my depth
How I would love to just sit and commune
Those tiny legs holding that dark tan body
The body that nervously bounced around

Watching, listening for any foe that could devour
Short was the moment maybe thirty seconds
Then he was gone
How so much like life_some relationships just don't last

Peter Golden November 17, 2010 at 4:01 PM Brilliant, maybe a commer or a pause, where... I simly applaud. The words tell me many things: a poetic soul who exposes themselves with sensitivty, of loss, a soul that many of us desire. For your loss I cannot help. Pomposity over, I am in your debt, a truely wonderful write, a pleasure to have read. Thank you.

David Smalling November 11, 2010 at 11:20 AM There is so much pain here ... so real and analogy ... and the forbeoding sense of tragedy it carries.

Kim Hilliker October 30, 2010 at 12:33 PM The correlation between the Sparrow and relationships was excellent. Nice write.
