Linda Jackson Poet Free verse

Wanderer

I gaze in wonder
         at your beauty.
         Imprisoned in
         your glass cage.

         Lifeless now,
         your corpse on show
         for coffee breakers 
         to idle away a few moments.
   
         Only I understand 
         how you soared over oceans
         you solitary, wandering bird.

        My albatross.

Robert Pettit February 23, 2014 at 2:55 PM Were you in a museum recently? I get that idea from reading your very descriptive words. Linda Jackson February 25, 2014 at 12:48 PM Not recently but I have visited Albert the Albatross quite a lot and wished to see an Albatross in the wild. I do not want these wonderful birds to become extinct. How terrible that future generations may not see these beautiful creatures.
