Best Bird On The Wing Poems

"In the absence of complication,
 trials and tribulations become distant memories.
  Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes -
  inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind."

 Simplicity flows in poetic verse
 weaving the flight of butterflies
 dancing on the wind,
 as ink flows on the...

It snowed lightly last night.
I venture into the woods,
hear the silence reigning supreme.
Mutely a light breeze weaved its way 
amongst the moss-covered trunks,
the high branches swinging serenely,
the verdant leaves of evergreen trees.
 
Occasionally a snowflake fluttered down
onto the white path that winded its way
across the...

Happiness is the first rain that breaks the drought,
           Seeing the joyful faces on farmers all about.
Happiness is a young child soaring high on a swing,

With laces tied, she is up and away
With the glint of the moon on her steel blades
The clink of metal as she leaves the ice
Pirouette of glee as her soul takes flight

Swirling and twirling, a bird on the wing
With her scarlet skirt flared out in...

A lily in the pond
A mountain beyond;
A blue sky in spring
A bird on the wing.
The rippling call
Of a waterfall;
A soft spring rain
A robin's refrain.
Fields full of flowers
Spending long hours
With arms around you
Speak words not a few.
Such little things
To remember for years;
The songs we sing
Memories with...

I've always been good with a sling
And can hit a bird on the wing
But Dave hit a giant
Who was not complaint
And for that, they made him a king?...

Buzz! said the bee on
the bloom; Hoot! said the owl in
the tree; Chirp! said the
bird on the wing; Thank you, God!
I witnessed all these grand things....

I met a spicy young lassie
on the road from Banff to Buckie
Her eyes were full of sparkle.
I thought I might get lucky.
Polite chit chat over cola.
With a nip of apricot brandy.
Her demeanor and wit quite trendy
yet, keeping composure handy.

The short of my story is this....

To the beach, the sand , the waves
A summer day with no sense of hurry
Feet in the surf and the cry of the gull
Appreciating a day without worry...

Beyond the blue horizon such mystery
Known to the soaring bird on the wing
With a boat and dream I'd...

mild february thus far
blue skies    atlas smiles

blue bird on the wing
color against winter’s nap
harbinger of spring

This lone bird
flying alone,
in grey overcast,
seems so absurd

Dipping and swooping,
crazy circles,it makes
Such joy ,hard to fake,
inner whooping

For there is no season,
when to fly,
no reason,
not to try

Lone bird,
so high,
I wonder why?

Wings of grey,
match the cloud
Shades of grey at play,
mood unbowed

There is joy in flight,
instinctively right.
Bird on...

Within thou secret heart I dared to peek,
but entry to thee twas not meant to be.
Searching for answers that doth I do seek
No avail, thy heart locked and I no key.

I'd oft pondered what in thee would I find.
Thy love for me, wrapped in finely...

Love’s Wheel

Nothing could compare to how you make me feel
Would that in this envelope were
My body, my heart and soul
In the distance I see your face and hold your hand

I hope-
I know you understand after a while
I see you don’t back down
You have taken a...

Like a bird on the wing I was homeless
Not a perch to call my own
Always searching for somewhere, something
my song was so dull and forlorn
I was taken to a nest i was promised
I would find love and friendship too
can't believe the joy that overtook me
that...

In the distance, tall trees raise their arms to the sky
Giving shade below, beckoning birds on the fly
While in the fields below, harvests wait for their time
A cycle of life and death, through rhythm and rhyme.

Whether it be a mountain, or an ancient tree
Or a...
