I come now through horizon’s thunderous roar, then spread my wings in spirited soar, I am an Albatross.
Never kind a word you speak of world weary trek, as ever see only burden I hung around your neck.
So ever to pass then over rugged land and sea, still no place to stay I find there ever more for me.
Continue great migration we as do the oceans rolling tide, what bonds our flock is hope for more over some great distance wide.
Familiar ever in some whispered tale, from times they toiled under open sail, they speak of me Albatross.
What remained is little left but deep within my heart, burning so to light a fire and then my journey start.
Rising hope uplifting like by that bird’s feathered wing, in quiet shadow passing does no welcome bring.
From hardship have there many ventures born, amongst the shattered pieces of a life blown with the storm.
Easy seemed they to ignore the lives so torn asunder, so cast were we then to journey, and from then to endless wander.
We seldom see the coming squall, those life moments where we fall, we all could be an Albatross!
And though my journeys end be met with no a friendly eye, like that bird of story called Albatross, onward always will we fly!

Good write G.
Cheers. Really glad someone likes it...couldnt get any competitions to accept it and largely been ignored. But it's probably my fav of my recent work and really proud of it. I'm reading through yours so I'll let you know what I think in a while 🙂
Lovely read enjoyed it

your voice is steadfast and your talent is clear,
maybe a little streamlining and rewording to make your concepts a little more accessible and I'm sure you'll get the recognition you deserve. Keep fighting the good fight dear poet,
let your mind's ink flow without restraint, but do remember when you go back to edit with the hope of sharing, not everyone has those links to your references..
(please understand, I mean no disrespect and if you find my words offensive in any way I apologise wholeheartedly, neither am I claiming expertise or any semblance of superiority, I'm just sharing my 2 cent$ worth, in the hope that it may - help: sincerely),
thanks for choosing to share!
Hello. Thank you for your post. I've never read that are you saying I plagerized?
I've googled lb trek poetry but can't find which poem has these bits where are they from?
'roar' was the only word I liked that ryme with 'soar' and the sentence flowed from that... So nice on top of all the other 'supportive' comments on this poem!
I won't be sharing anything else on here it's been horrible... Still want you to reply with which poem your talking about so I can see it

I've nothing more to add, all the best!
Maybe I miss understood you. If so I am sorry... Just feeling a bit defensive.
I'm sure every writer hopes to find a unique and strong way to articulate their thoughts and feelings. It's increasingly hard to do this so I take any perceived attack on my integrity hard.
