In The Night

Posted on July 30, 2020 by purplepeninportland

Written for:  dVerse Poets Pub – Poetics:  Flights of Fancy  (posted by Laura Bloomsbury)

. Pen a poem that is about FLYING/FLIGHT (NOT FLEEING)
. Take ONE or MORE of our natural winged phenomena – bird, bat, insect, seed, flying          fish! (but NOT mythical creature with wings, NOT mechanical objects either)
. Your poem can be purely literal or mixed with metaphor or even allegory
. Write as subject or object; 1st or 3rd person
. Preferably use FREE VERSE (like Sandburg & Lawrence above) as that best suits the            subject of flying!

Angels and doves
sailed through air,
white, carefree,
wings whistling. I
knew they were there
to affect a change
to right wrongs
to render love
to sprinkle peace.
It did not matter
that I was fast asleep.
