Sometimes I fly like an eagle
But with the wings of a wren
Idling like an exotic visitor in someone’s garden
And three cats following your feet
All I must do is jump from the wagon
Like a tough song, actually
Reaching from the darkened middle distance
Reaching from the darkened middle distance
Idling like an exotic visitor in someone’s garden
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
Like a tough song, actually
All I must do is jump from the wagon
But with the wings of a wren
And three cats following your feet
Another one of serendipity: 7 lines taken completely at random from 7 books on my shelves :)) xx
the endeavor and the daring to be unique, yet muddle and endure through a bit of caution and mundane -- without ever losing sight of, or the thrill of soaring beyond our capabilities, "like an eagle with the wings of a wren" -- that's my story and I'm sticking to it -- loved it Kate -- peace and love be with you always my dear friend -- Jon Michael
Once in a great while I fly like an eagle
Mostly I hang out with turkeys
My garden's a mess
My songs don't impress
Of those three damn cats
I made jerky
My wagon wheel broke
The wrens flew away
Can't really blame them
Their cage was a joke
My wings are done flapping
I hope you're amused
It was not my intention
Your poem to have abused
There are many ways these lines can be interpreted Kate, but for me I have flown with those wings of a wren, only to find out they were the wings of a butterfly. Such is life I am told, and maybe someday I can be that wren on my up to being that eagle. Maybe someday. Thank you for sharing.

The Steve Miller Band makes a good poetry subject with Burnside's NaPoWriMo - 11 - the cat's meow accompanied by guitar, keyboards, sitar and Lonnie Turner on bass guitar. This is no rough-and-tumble landing, Kate! It's smooth! I've seen birds with the strongest wings take a digger! Transcendent from this world and its experiences of serendipity, pleasurable things coming to us without our asking...they just fly into being like a pogo stick...be well.

To me, these lines "say" a great deal. Nicely done with a difficult task in my humble estimation. Love and best wishes,
