Wayward Wings 8x8

Floating on a repentant leaf. Circling in flotsam fairy pond. Drizzling leaves whirligig in dark. Wayward wings beg woods to respond. Tiny tears flooding maple boat. The sentinel owl nods his head as hearts resound with golden wings whisking away prodigal’s dread. 8x8 Poetry Contest Sponsor: PS Awtry Date: 11/10/2018

Yes I think any species can grieve, so original and beautifully sad...

What you can do with just a few well-chosen words is gob-smackingly satisfying and amazing. You have a gift that just keeps giving, and I am so glad you are sharing it with me! Each line so filled with imagery, and natural goodness, Kim. Sweet!
