oh sweet chic


How can i say this?
my delicate chic…

where you were born to the stable henhouse
raised to peck, running around the stomping ground
spooned in the feathers of comfort at dusk
father there to cock-a-doodle the morn
familiar, the land of which you were born
one day you will be king
to raise the roost
it is your beautiful destiny

well some, such as i,
were born with wings to fly
born atop a functioning nest
to be fed from a mouth up high
raised vigilantly
to be set free amongst the wild
wide winged with a keen eye

it’s by chance we’ve met
that i should land here to rest
although seemingly intriguing and exotic,
a grand new fixture to adorn
when you beckon the sun
as a baritone cock
wings will spread
briskly flying
into the morn

How can i say this?
sweet little chic
although the same species,
some birds are meant to fly

  9. This is a gorgeous piece, deep from the heart and a wonderful way to keep yourself "un"grounded. Well said and beautifully penned. Loved it.

  13. Some are born to fly, some achieve flight nd some have flight thrust upon them? Fine post.

  14. I was at the farm yesterday and there was a renegade hen. I was told that everyday, she flew over the coop fence and into the general yard. I watched her waddle over near a fence post, settle down into the grasses and lay her egg, far from the cluckings of her village. Duty done, she would hop back over the fence. So interesting. One of 100's, doing it her way.

  17. Hey, like..."Fly Little Bird"?

    OK I need to ask you Kay, on my blog, does not a link (in two places) appear in the opening paragraph above the picture? That is for the poet Peter, I'm saying...if not, email me and I'll send you the URLs. If I did not believe you would LOVE his writing, I'd not bother you with this here, OK?

    YOU have a neat place here also, thought I was a "follower"...if not I'm going to DO that now. PEACE! Always...
