ENIGMA
A poem for two little sparrow poets on OSI
They know who they are!
It is enigmatic
to consider how
a delicate little sparrow
flying through lace handkerchiefs
pegged to a washing line
preening her wings
amongst blossom buds
whispering a sparrow sigh
can drop a
heavy nugget of gold
"whispering a sparrow sigh" love that line Rall.

an enigma indeed- great interpretation of the prompt!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure it was a nugget of gold, Rall? This is pretty.
ReplyDeleteInteresting little poem. As long as it isn't just a euphemism for bird poop, I want this bird to visit me. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI like the image of "flying through lace handkerchiefs." Very nice, Rall!
ReplyDeleteWhy on earth would I write a poem about bird poop? LOL Matt and Derrick are both bonkers.
ReplyDeleteHonestly!
Patti it may take you a while to get used to these poets. They are 'unusual' Pam, I'm glad you liked it.'Sparrow sigh' belongs to Blossom Buds. It's my signal to her.She must be out to lunch because I haven't heard from her yet.
Hey Marianne,just like old times!I like the delicacy of lace handkerchiefs and old scent bottles,yet I wear an Akubra and country boots
ReplyDeletebut only when I write poetry. I know Barbra Seville has large pink striped poetry pants that she dons before embarking on a masterpiece.Derrick wears a yellow feathered head-dress that he nicked from one of the showgirls at the party. I don't know what Matt
wears . He's very secretive.
A fine touch! :)
ReplyDeleteWhere there's muck there's brass. A touch of alchemy to turn it into gold.
