Feathers.

Goldfinch60

We talk often of feathers in our caps

When we have achieved something,

But I now have a feather in my hand,

A quill to write down those achievements.

    Oh yes, we both had them at school, didn't we, millions of years ago? Well, around 1066 anyway. Did you get a quill from that pterodactyl?! Good write.

      That pterodactyl you kept as a pet? It would let me near it as it thought I was after your pork pies!!

      Well done. A fine example of the classic 4-liner. A much underated form. Certainly not enough of them on MPS.
      Short, vivid and creates an image in very few words.

      Yes I enjoyed this - well written.

      Thanks ANDY ~ A quintisensial quatrain and a perfect picture ~ thanks. If you voice be silences ~ then let you quill quiver with indignation ! BRIAN
