Chief Missing Feather

There are two basic types of feather: vaned feathers which cover the exterior of the body, and down feathers which are underneath the vaned feathers...


Poem Artwork

Wise man once said,
“Put it as far behind you as you can, Kim,  do not think of it any longer!”
So I did.
"Kim" means chief, ya know...and I lost a feather,
but in doing so, I gained the ability to fly in a different direction, knowing
now, I rule only the tribe that I’ve created, and it’s funny, we all have the same damn feather missing!

Kimmy,
The lesson here isn't dragged or laboured but lightly and meaningfully conveyed through rich image. Fine piece.

As Yellow Feather, I was the April Fool, and acted as though I'd lost all my feathers.

One thought can take one into many paths Kimmy....

just as the wise man can state to the Chief and he also walks unto a newer path...

we are the rulers of our own destiny...

nice work...
