Birds of Paradise

A bird of paradise, we found you thriving
in your island home, untainted by our
greedy grasp for more.

Pure and perfectly poised, innocence intact,
your plume imparted a fine assurance
of peace-filled kingdoms.

And as I looked at you, I wondered what life,
what beauty was yet to be discovered
within each of us?

A moment to be remembered Dawn, when the light shines on those qualities that enable us to have the innocence that allows us to strut our own plumage!A defining momennt! Splendid poem!

My only additional thought to those already voiced below is how wonderful that each of us is designed to become and fulfill our full potential in our own "island home", our own "peace-filled kingdom" that we are destined to inhabit. THEN we can be fully integrated into ourselves and into the environment that is uniquely ours to savour and conquer... Just thinkin out loud here, Dawn, and wonderin when it is that my own colours and plumage will truly start to shine as a sign that I, too, am thriving??!! Wonderful cameo you present here.

This is a fantastic poem, Dawn. You make a strong connection between human and bird, bringing in the reality that each of us grows with each passing day and there is also a lot more to us than we realize or understand. Awesome write, beautiful images and intense depth.
Take care,
Sherry

I like the way you compare the outside of the bird to the possibilities of beauty inside us. Fresh, positive poem, Dawn.

Dawn,

Considering that the Bird of Paradise is one of Nature's most gloriously plumaged raptors, this is a spectacular homage to the beauty within each of us; wonderful analogy and write--well done!

(((HUGS)))) and love, Karla.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
