Best Fully Fledged Poems

When I first flew the nest, my spirits were low; 
how my world has changed from one year ago. 
Now fully fledged, I spread open my wings! 
My voice, once a whisper, now gently sings. 
You can feel my music through verse all day long,...

Dozy Dick and his Magic Stick it comes to life at night
Takes him to a world of joy and pure delight

Transports him to a place he really wants to be
Of inner dreams and pleasure and every fantasy

With his magic stick Dick can travel far and...

Panicked tiny footprints, zigzag, sharp;
Each an arrow hungry for direction.
Across them, newer, the fully-fledged
Outlines of boots, strong, deep.

Ahead, the bootprints side by side,
Suddenly, decisively:  imagine the arms.
Further on still, the arrows stagger,
Stop, and fading blood reds the way. 

This is the tale the snow...

Dear Son,

As you read this letter
I believe you are fully fledged
And perhaps you have already selected
A straight soulmate among your flying flock
I know my absence's had your heart brimming with rage
May your rage wither as you turn over the pages
That have witnessed your life stages
And...

A perfect radiant day of golden complexion infused the Jefferson brothers to travel down the narrow path, a mile from their home to the Ebb Water Creek.
Their goal to hook a line of catfish was prevalent to place on the family table.
A necessary task, one...

Night had been short, I still was highly tired
for my bones had been badly maltreated
during exhausting marches. I admired
comrade John who recently had cheated
the Reaper in the north at Stamford Bridge.
I left the troops and headed for a beech
where I relieved myself. The coming fight
transformed...

I wish for an end to come 
A welcome I spoke; untrue now
The progress of time, showing me pain
Saved me than, to severe me again
An arid mind, pleading for lines to flow.

Upon entrance, my improbable dream tempted reality
My artistry had granted me a title, of...

Early morning vapors emulate a lady's veil, 
diaphanous, a softly shifting secrecy; 
as constant as the tide and deathly pale, 
feathering the lake in fragile mystery. 

Minstrels scarce can sing with proper import 
of the dawning of the day in violet haze; 
e'er we hear...

Early morning vapors emulate a lady's veil,
diaphanous, a softly shifting secrecy; 
inconstant as the tide and deathly pale, 
feathering the lake in fragile mystery.

Minstrels scarce can sing with proper import 
of the dawning of the day in violet haze;
e'er we hear the skylark, mother nature's...

Just nodded yes, when my ego had said no
Lost all consuming forces, simply let go
Met you halfway, instead of skirting the square 
Perhaps sat down, when you brought over a chair

Found quantum entanglement, not just sheeple 
Its herding force, far away from the steeple
Magnetism in...

pity the alien who loses its way
& has to stop here for a bit
(to do whatever aliens do, if they
lose their way)---
now,
go one step further &
imagine that like a child
who curiously picks up a fly &
proceeds to tear the wings off of its
struggling little body,
making...

Woke up and read David Kavanagh's entry to this contest. Then couldn't stop thinking of two line quotes and keep thinking of another every few minutes... I should actually have 1 more hour of sleep 

So far I have - 
The kaleidoscopic nature of truth...

I've ne'er beheld such a magnificent tree.
Only you were a ration of my life spree.

Your shadow splatters my scorching flesh.
Striving to restrain agony out of my thresh.

A tree that can bear both heat and downpour.
Hence, you ditched my futile and deceitful spore.

You typically offer me...

Fresh flowers in the fields are in flamboyant flair 
Flailing festivity for my Divine Fulcrum and Fortress
Forever-loving Father, you’re my Faithful Friend
Fountain of Fullness:  Christ Jesus- famous of all names.

Forever-loving Father, on my knees I fall 
For, you fortified my faith and fixed my...

How am I doing

Well thanking you very much indeed

For being kind enough to ask

Because I am doing just fine

In fact I can't tell a lie i am actually
way far better than that bordering on
great 

Because my business is downright
booming at the minute

To the point I...
