The Flightless Bird Must Break
The robin that shuddered from the island of the lake,
The robin that tossed until each feather was a flake,
The robin in the wind that watched the waters awake,
Robin red-breast numb with ache.

Flightless Bird
it’s off the beaten path
this adventure she’s living
her courage and imagination
an effervescent passion
her mom can’t fathom
and follows her
accomplishments
with pure delight
and silently wishes
she could somehow
grow wings on her own

Origami
Oh paper crane,
how I wish upon you
to carry me afar,
my childhood spent
as a flightless bird,
my wings stifled
by the hands of a mother
who loved me too much
to let me be free.
Oh, crane,
can I still fly?
Can my folded wings
still spread out,
perhaps slowly,
to take me to the sky,
where you will
lead the way?...

Self-Portrait with Flightless Bird
I gave myself the body
of a secretary bird—
long legs like accusations,
a face too sharp for comfort.
But wings? I borrowed
from a taxidermied dodo:
soft, irrelevant,
stitched to the wrong century.
In the background,
a sky I did not earn.
In the foreground,
a foot poised to crush a snake
that looks suspiciously like me....

I Wish
Sometimes I wish I never spoke a word
Cuz now I sit here like a flightless bird
Waiting…
Waiting for the next worm
It came out as if to be amusing
Then testing it chances to see what will happen
This bird was very much a patient one
Just sitting and watching to see what will occur
But soon looses interest
and moves one to the next unlucky one...

Painting Pictures With Words
A shimmering sun
Illuminating rays of fun
Sparkling ocean
A universe's devotion
It could be tragic
To capture the magic
Let the colors free
For exuberant eyes to see
A dazzling dance
If taken the chance
Music is my messiah
Perhaps why I'm a pariah
Painting pictures
Manic mixtures
With wily words
Here come the herds
Hide your heart
From a deviant's dart
I'm just a silly flightless bird
Painting pictures with words...

Strutt
As the roosters greet the cool morn
Flightless unable to soar
Earthbound noisely let sun hear
I'm here, I'm here such bore
They strutt, throw chest out arrogant
Are they impressing males
Females or try to bolster self?
Oh flightless bird what ails?
The sun that peeked red between clouds
Now is gold above mass
Soon the cool of the morn will wilt;
The roosters' crowing pass.
The sounds of morn that saturate
Enter my being, soul
Soon will evaporate_dry_go
Let moments in soul mould......
