Mag 184   Free as a Bird

Free
Like
A bird
In a tree,
I’d rest among leaves,
And I’d perch on swaying branches,
I’d take flight and seize my chances,
Wheel and swoop and dive -
Life unbound -
And thrive
And
Sing.

  10. Poetry has never been my thing, having to compose one would drive me crazy, having to compose one in a certain style would have me tearing out my hair.
    You do this very well though, and I admire that.

  13. Tweet, tweet, tweet!!!
    Nice fibonacci, J.B. It reads very nicely.

    Thank you. It did get me to thinking, how really free is the bird? For sure when they become parents they have many obligations. More too, but I won't dwell.

    I love the birds in Regents Park--I visited it about four times this London visit, maybe five. It is walking distance from my daughter and family home.
