Best Feather Poems

 
A feather lost glides, drifting, it soars, 
In the mighty wind, it twirls and swirls, as if dancing;
Once, the People owned all the wilderness,
They called it home, now they watch it be destroyed. 

There, high upon a sheer jagged, rocky cliff,
An appaloosa horse of...

Trickling over my mind
Came scampering the question
This dilemma of a heart
Come running into my embrace
Stricken with fright

It asked me
Father, why do we write
And so I dipped my feather in the darkness of my mind
And brought forth my answer 

I wrote of fear and the love...

Pain had damaged her wings
in her seemingly endless struggles
beating them against the valley walls,
then, in the last days she made haste 
and climbed to the mountain’s summit
and flew free.

At first I could not see
that the sun and the moon 
were shining on that verdant floor
where...

I wrap myself 
in feather-boa-fantasies of his dreams
sinuous pinot-grigio-me; 
X-rated and never sated
dancing to rock ‘n roll— 80’s dated
...my floorshow our foreplay

welcome to the conjugal jungle 
of not-so-rusted lust
sixty-something-shapely...
25th anniversary groom croons naughty thoughts;
“you could make a young stud sizzle
if you cougar-purred and preened..
half-your-age ‘prey’...

I found myself floating again
numerous wings to fly
a curve on the mountain
a mellow in the morning
evaporating in azure sky.
Should I go ahead?
Is there a world that's mine...
the feather wonders each day.
Lo! The whirlpool scatters them all
it rises alone, terrified in the wind.
Hush! The streams calm...

WTF burning bright with pondering ink.
Graceful swans or blackbirds skedaddling
across the vast and empty space. The think
kerplunking into cavernous link.
The quill flying…descriptives diving
onto the writer’s canvas…surviving.

WTF, loud and clear, dear John…
the calligraphic rend of relationship…
The salutation is a haunting paragon.
Parisian-perfumed paper is withdrawn.
The ebony of...

clouds caress the sky
with a trail of white feathers...

                grass tickles our toes

Leaving my son's house, a rain-burst had just passed.

At the edge of the wood, contrasted against dark clouds,
A single tree stood glowing.

Wet in the sun’s rays, its leaves shimmering in the breeze.
A feather in the forest glowing,
Singly.

Brightly shining yellow green,
A cottonwood applauds the coming of...

The gurgling of the brook
Daisies swaying on the bank
As light as a feather I am, to look
Problems tossed with the stone that sank

The wind chime music, playing light
Jingling in the soft breeze of air
As light as a feather, I take flight
My mind is floating in...

You float and fly 
for all to see 
you fill the sky 
with daydream fantasy 

A sign, this fate 
foreseeing plans 
laid about 
through gentle hands 

Drifting off 
in heartfelt mystery 

A captured hope 
through painted scenes 
clearing minds 
and what it means 

Soon that gift...

At night the Whip-Poor-Will sings
A frantic lover's tune Whip-Poor-Will Whip-Poor-Wil
At dawn the Dove's coo coo _soft peace surely brings
Then the Roosters in their chorus appeal
Singing a tune that is slightly shrill

As the gray clouds amass like sand 'pon the beach
Birds sing unrehearsed a tune destined...

A shadow of the sun
a silhouette created by a sunset
One more summer has came and went 
and I'm sitting inbetween the hours of 8 and 9
miserable and lonely
Is it me
Is it me to get screwed over aimlessly
tied in a knot of pretty little bow
on top...

A robin holds her verdant perch
La primavera song
Now fills the air of nature’s church
As I stroll along

I stop to try and catch a glimpse
To witness her refrain
Beheld in beauty lush and green
So sweetly does she reign

Her heartfelt chorus carries me
It is suggestive of
What I would...

In life…
Whether you remain as plain toast,
Or into a soldier you are cut,
Whether you are covered in marmalade,
Or dipped into yolk from an egg cup,
In life there’s one main rule, should you fall…
Stay butter side up!...
