Best Swans Poems
Suddenly SwansUpon the slow-flowing river,
Suddenly swans
Scud quickly away.
From round the bend I gracefully glide,
I am the queen of them all.
And quickly my king arrives.
The dance of love begins.
We bob our heads, wings quivering,
Necks entwined.
Unruffled snow-white plumage.
In time my eggs are hatched,
Cygnets are so cute.
How...

Swans At Coole ParkSummer's sweet swans share
white winged feathers
Wild and free as they bow their
long graceful necks.
Artistic as a poet's painting
of fecund flora,
Nature's lough at Coole, their

Swans Lake SateSwans 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...

Two Swans In a PondTwo swans in a pond
In symphonic dance
Bowing to each other
Submissive obeisance
Meditating romance
On rippled vows
Rousing feathers
In flirting advance
Exchanging affections
In a wordless song
Courting seduction
In dignified stance
A sensuous replay
Between stimulus
And response
Floating on arousal
Sanctifying foreplay

A Swans ReturnGrace had floated royal
among the sweet summered months,
and not a moment had passed
without the nectar of love;
Three feathered lords so fledgling
white-black,
sleeping white at noon,
'neath arbors brawn....
where the nestles are soft with love,
and dream to host all the world watching;
from horizon's scarlet painting pink
the billowed...

Two Swans SwimmingTwo swans swimming in beautiful bliss -
a pretty picture of spring’s splendor is this.
Wonderful, white birds – like soft snow -
they so gracefully glide serenely slow.
Pale pink blossoms all around -
blooms fallen float on the pleasant pond
that the April sun smiles down upon!

Suddenly SwansDedicate to Timothy Lee, the best of me
My fried anxieties and crisped lonely would unite in my sleep's repeat
nightmares where a roster of random monsters pursued their viewed, vile
end of me. My pulsing terrors urged I fast run but my feet always turned
to...

SwansA pond quivers in demure gusts,
cygnets of morning light undulate
with lithe ripples. Winter thaws,
the sun arcs over feathered rainbows
as ice sculptures bevy like water lilies
on April's frigid cobalt.
In abrupt squall webbed feet prance
on a mirror, capturing saffron exhalations
of rapt poppies,...

Swans
I wonder how aware they are,
what shadowy sense of self
occupies their brain. Perhaps
no more than a flicker
of consciousness glows
in the far reaches
of an inner dark,
sufficient to propel them
here and there for food
and find a mate,
just printed circuits of flesh
programmed for...

Suddenly SwansOur Tall Duckling (original title)
Our daughter, always through her childhood,
at least a head above any other girl in her class,
stands somewhere offstage now
with long lashes darkened by mascara
and with lips and cheeks painted pink.
She waits with other nervous pre-teens in her group
where I left...

Suddenly Swanscholeric clouds, suspended
over the leaking lake
the rebellion of a teenage face
cross-eyed, ferocious
bereaved by a split pancake
baffled by life’s inconsistencies
a vortex peeks out of darkness

Butterflies and SwansDoes the caterpillar understand
it will become a butterfly so grand
Does the tiny ugly duckling realize
it will be a gorgeous swan, life-size
Does the blind, featherless baby robin know
that off into the sky, it will breathtakingly go
They, of course, can't imagine...

The SwansThe swans
By Michelle Morris

Two swans swim on the ocean
Beautiful, gliding together
Love and light highlighted
Nature's infinite blessings
The waves reflect back blue cool
The sun echoes down yellow warmth
The swans are white purity in motion
The sand blending black, yellow and white stripes
The swans swim on, uncaring of labels
They...

Animals of the WildEve of His Reign
facing the sunset
the lion king's on his hill
standing fierce and strong
Swans Drifting Away
a flock of mute swans
gliding on silver waters
under rose strewn moon
An Elephant Warning
I hear the trumpets
ears flaring, it comes running
with earth shaking news
Sunday Frolic
long ears, twitchy nose
wide eyes gleaming, bunny...
