If only we could fly like
those that tweet or hoot
without aid of jet or
parachute
For I sure don't like
wings that roar
just so they can take off
and soar
Ah, to fly without petrol, diesel
or fuel
Oh, to halt that taloned midair
duel
Birds they don't pollute
the air
nor need they any airline
fare
So if only I too could rise
and glide
and let the wind be my
sole guide
I'd be happy to fly all the
way to 'em' stars
if I was assured I'd risk
no charring scars.
Flying without aviation
formalities
I could be sightseeing
many more cities
Ah I so wish to fly just
like a jay or jackdaw
Then I'd fly across all and
every border
For I'd know nor follow
no man-made law!

Great write
Thanx soo much for review.
Welcome
This is great! OMG! I think that rhyming really adds to the beuty of the poem. Keep up the good work!
Thanx a bunch for your feedback. And thanx for the poem pal offer.
WELCOME ZAYNAB (love all your names !) Or would you rather b a FISH ! H. Sapiens lives in the 2 Dimensional lithosphere while BIRDS live in a 3D atmosphere and FISH in the 3D hydrosphere. We envy these creatures their extra degree of freedom. We can build submarines and jet planes but we ALWAYS hae to return to Terra Firma ! Even if we poppulatr MARS we will still be rooted to MARSA FIRMA . Thanks for a well penned poem replete with rhyme & rhythm ! I found the subject nostalgic ans challenging ! O FOR THE WINGS ~ FOR THE WINGS OF A DOVE ......... ! Yours BRIAN
Howdy Poet, thanx soo much for a most interesting feedback eh. I'm only Zaynub, the rest are surnames, or middle names. Yeah it would be nice to swim deep in the ocean but I'm such a scaredy cat that I daren't try that. Only if I could wing n fly in the skies, hope to be able to do that in the afterlife.
Cheers,.,
I'm a turtledove u know.
Very nice poem, although I 'm unfamiliar with a jackdaw. Hmm. I like it when your poem rhymes. But wouldn't it be lovely to fly? Lovely poem you have here!
Warmest thanx pal for your review. Oh yes it would be sooo nice to fly neh. Take care.
swollows built their nest, chaffinch sing, and the sun strolls into town like a long lost king..love your work. it's a great write..x.
Thanx so much for an er. poetic comment. Cheers.
Wings have been man's wish or desire from the dawn of time. Maybe we just want to be like angels. Most of our superheroes can fly, from Superman to Ironman! Who knows, maybe in a million years we'd evolve into winged creatures. 🙂 Nice poem!
