Smells somewhat like
a bluebird I once met.
He flew off before
I could get to know
him. This feather
is too big. Maybe
it belongs to an eagle,
too big for a seagull.
Eagles are powerful,
not afraid of
any other bird.
If I was an eagle
I could fly
to distant places.
That would be fun, but
Mom and Dad would miss me.
I'm still a pup, you know?

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York.
My goal is to create and share poetry with others
who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve
in you, and feel your sparks as well.
Taotalk is a forum for the discussion of both the academic and pragmatic aspects of dao and Daoism, with participants expressing themselves on Daoist writings and pragmatics from their unique perspectives. It serves as a community for Daoists, and those interested in Daoism, to gather and talk dao.
Fun Sara! I had the same impression, that the little guy might fantasize about flying… 🙂
