The Swan's Song

Oh swan where is your song
That lost woeful cry
That last wail of goodbye

Your beauty never faded
with your life of ferity
in cautious humility

And as you fly the night sky
Your plumage is not confuted
Your voice no longer muted

Oh swan, here is your song
Oh death, where is your sting
For that swan,
       That beautiful swan
             Still has this song to sing.

Inspiring poem. I even learned a new word from this one, ferity. Thanks for sharing your talent, and if I didn't say it on your other poem, welcome to the soup. -G

Adelaide,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
