Best Swan Poems

Like delicate white swans were they,
the white swans of a grand ballet -

underneath the candlelight’s soft glow.

But what are ballerinas with no parts
to make them dance? The poet gives them hearts!

The Swan 

Feathers floating in the wind
Perform in slow motion,
Each drift into the shadows of yesterday
She is not me -- She is not you!

A theme, upon a morning crystal view.
She truly is the wind
She is like the sun
She is as beautiful as the moon
She is...

She floats like...

Out 
of the darkness

star-lanterns’ beam finds an awakening dream - 
a strewn snowy stream 
gracing the depths of the black swan night


Earthbound

from the realm of the pulsing Polaris 
   ..traveling through time zones 
       of timeless inspiration...

"Who's woods are these anyway'.

Who's woods that I  dwell?

The house of Usher I know so well.

I seek to skate on the frozen lake.

These woods are deep, dark, and weak.

Though I would dance like a swan if I could.

The lake is always frozen this time...

You are a jeweled gift sparkling diamond rock temple 
One of thousand in the world touched petal by petal 

Skies above true blue wrapped cotton white emotions 
Arches over our earthly plains east to west one circle 

Inside silk ribbon feelings tie the knot perfectly...

The silent swan glides  
Her plumage falls softly in  
The ripples of tossed coins  

Far from the fountain's edge  
Where lost promises linger  
In the fading dusk of night  

Unnoticed, she takes flight  
Leaving behind a trail of...

Swans so gracefully gliding o'er lake
Delightful scenery they create 
Dressed all in white feather finery
True beauties of the lake dynasty.

Falling in love with love forever
Swan mates dance on water together
Singing a swan lake song as they roam
The glorious lake they've made their home.

When swans in...

Every year from spring through fall, if you peered between the cattails you could see the swans in the center of the pond, head to head, their love peering back. On the pond's edges, from the tops of lily pads, frogs were singing of love's...
