Unclipped Wings

Dark eyes black feathers placed what's in your hands an empty space A heart that was held yesterday Wings you unclipped has flown away All that remains carefully placed These few feathers no other trace

Thanks Cay Cay, this is a personal favorite. I entered it into a contest but it didn't do so well. Thanks for validating my own thoughts about it.

I like this one, Richard for the soft sensitivity - no animosity. Realistic. Congrats on the selection. Love, daver

Thanks Daver, I quite like this one myself. I was inspired after seeing a picture of a native girl.

hi richard... this is well scribed... am not sure if this is for me as it doesn't have your name ( part of the rules).. kindly check rhyme scheme as well, if you have time to edit; my contest is closing soon!... thanks and welcome to soup!...:) huggs!

It looks like I am to late. I will try one of your future contests. I went back to check the Rhyme scheme earlier and mine was incorrect, didn't have time to change. I ended up with a poem in the process so all is well. Thanks for the kind comment and welcome.
