Penguin And Poet Poem by ONElia AVElar

Penguin And Poet

Rating: 3.6


What is in common
between
a Penguin and a Poet?
You may guess
the PEN?
Or the bizarre
Dress Code?
I think they both,
like Fallen Angels
from the Heaven
with hints of Wings
are walking thoughtful
on the Earth
and only
while swimming
in the Ocean
(of Words) :
they leave the Earth
show Wings in Action,
in Swimming - Flying,
nimbleness,
(nimbuses) ,
a heavenly Strength...

And the wingless-moon wobbled in the black sky as batman with dangerous eyes whooshed on by.

Aw.... this is so wonderful.. the way a penguin waddles and almost flies underwater. And how we love to swim in an ocean of words, most definitely a poet's nirvana! HG: -) xx

Wow! What a superb and ingenius similarity. When their appearance is so similar, the song of the Penguine must also be sweet and sober. I don't know about it. But Shelly says about skylark: Teach me half the gladness That thy brain must know, Such harmonious madness From my lips would flow, The world would listen me then as I am listening now.
