Flightless with wings

by neon sunset   Jun 7, 2012


The sky is a merry blue
the waves roll through and through
colored kites fly past me
the sun shines right through me
iridescent in the light
are my wings
i long to fly
i can not fly
i have wings, but no one can see me

    Love the 'merry' start and lightness of the poem. Love the imagery of rolling waves. The sorrowful ending adds to the depth of the poem for a moment of self reflection

    I love this poem. it is going on my favs. The sorrow in the poem is touching and identifiable. You have masterfully placed a sky of merry blue into a well written prose of meloncholy overtones. thanks for sharing
