Swift Wings Poem by Sandra Fowler

Swift Wings

Rating: 5.0


Swift wings are tipped with brief poetic gold.
Luminous flight sustains its fragile self.
The moment is as rare as a May frost.
Small glitters are enriched with their own charm.

The wonder of that appalachian gleam
Paints the bird's image on your window glass.
I think you understand the mood is now.
It has no will to ever come again.

YOUR POEMS GIVE WINGS TO EVERYTHING YOU WRITE IT STARTS OFF SLOW AND TAKES TO FLIGHT. BEAUTIFUL

A moment captured forever by one who sees and marvels and understands. You have such a special relationship with the English language Sandra. You use words that others have forgotten. Swift, for example. What a singular expression of flight. And coupled with wings is perfect - a pair of words that belong together. The light in your work is always magical. The reader can taste your eyes. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
