Short Fledge Poems

Mr. Pete Buttigieg
   lost his edge

His early bird victory
   turned to fledge...

Fledge!
Leave the 
Child behind.
Take wing and soar
To the woman you
Are meant to be.  Build strength 
in the turbulence called life.
I am still watching, but like a
Young bird someday you will fly alone.
You have all you need for your solo flight....

These eagles,
these creatures of 
the High Sky.

They hatch in
nests of branch
and twig; nestled,
fitted into crags;
perched over 
precipices.

Soon to soar,
but first,
they fledge,
they unruffle,
on thin-air 
Earth.

So very like
our Dreams....

Human is not humane
Though he is in provision -
To fledge pride the nation;
Yet living with fancy own bloom on.

Other's pine shakes not his vein.
What purport even defy thy majesty,
Ever eager find enjoying biting priority.
It is who seduce a gentle brain
Petty deed sweep origin blood in drain....

Night looms day, black croons white to bloom
As new day dawns, expectant of curtain call
But old cast in same play rerun doomed
To reel off the same old B-grade stuff
Unless you dawn awake before morn
And draft new play, and fledge fresh cast
A new chapter, a new one-act play baked afresh each day...

Disclosure: This is in no way to belittle "The Pledge of Allegiance". I love America!!! This was just something fun that came to mind, as I have four pet birds that I adore.

I fledge allegiance to my birds,
And the united birds of America,
And to the Republic for which birds stand
On one leg, under God, barely visible
On a fir tree with justice for all....

Now it's May...as in 'Month Merry'
We look outside and see it's very
Bright and warm and dry and can
With confidence those flights we'll plan!

We'll dust off winders, and wind rubber
Or fire up engines too long dormant
Props then will throw air in torrents
So our builds go up and forward!

Young birdlings will soon fledge and fly
Our builds will join them in the sky!...

Racer
Flat out speed
Hot blooded steed

  Pacer
Speed walking race
With unmatched grace

  Steeplechaser 
Fearless full fledge
Ace over hedge

  Dressage
Arabesques on display
The equestrian ballet

  Draft
Flowing feathered heels
Beer on wheels

  Trail
Rent the power
By the hour

Defining the rim of the steep canyon ledge
Tall snow-covered pines piercing azure sky
And forming the slope’s right-sided edge,
Defining the rim of the steep canyon ledge
Where many a regal bald eagle will fledge
On the slope as snow no longer meets the eye,
Defining the rim of the steep canyon ledge
Tall snow-covered pines piercing azure sky.
