dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Winging It

“I am a feather for each wind that blows.” William Shakespeare

Free

That one feather free,
seesawing,
swaying,
hanging on a note of breeze,
singing soft songs of oft wings,
and the great letting go,
the detachment risk,
no longer a flight of fancy,
now an adventure of self
awakening,
it is its own wing,
free.

  1. What a gorgeous line this is:
    “singing soft songs of oft wings”

    A beautiful piece that drifts down as gently as that feather.

  3. Love the thought of this… to some extent the exact opposite of what I wrote about a feather freed from its wing.

  6. I love this line in your poem, Paul, “hanging on a note of breeze”. What auditory and visual images that invokes.
