Winglets Poems | Examples


One Hummingbird

I mixed some sugar water,
Hoping there would be a visit.
One hummingbird obliged, but oh,
That viewing was exquisite.

He darted to the feeder,
Little winglets all a’blur
And he sipped to his contentment 
(Or it maybe should be her).

I grabbed my iPhone camera,
Thinking I could catch that sight,
But just one hummingbird came by
And still, that is all right.

Flight of Faith

I’m a falcon seamlessly driven
I can flex and torque 
My tapered wings flap like a hawk
Flight feathers long and slender like a ballerina
I’m vicious like bird of prey hunting with eyes
But I’m not like others in my tribe
I would rather burn my feathers like a fireball in the sun
Or sail through the blue unknown 
But never kill another anyone like my merlin friends
I want to break away like tenacious winds 
Fastest as it can be
My faith flutters my winglets strong 
May I be outcast or deprived
But let my spirits soar high
Let me reach the heaven of prayers
My partial me reprimands  I will
Down below my falcon lineage will see me through
Later as a fossil in time
But right now I just want to fly like ashes in the golden yellow sky.

In gentle breeze, a prism swings,
until each side has felt the sway
It hangs there by a thread of string
while waiting for the sun to play.

Sun passes by, so brief a glance
refracting light from morning skies
And soon my eyes must do a dance, 
entranced by all the butterflies !

Thrown against the wall as dice
Into a million moths that clone
from splintered sunlight, color- spliced,
as clear as ice, precisely honed. 

And as it twirls, more colors soar
With constellations telescoped
They rise up deep from prism's core
as if to make kaleidoscopes.

Walls gather up the rainbow's hue
Stain-glassed winglets for my view
Although I try to catch a few
They fly away, ...while sun does too.
