Warrior Swan Poem by GREENWOLFE 1962
Warrior Swan
Born a Virgin Diplomat
To die a Warrior Swan.
Most of them just didn't fit,
The guises I put on.
I wished for all life's colors.
Broad purple, pink, and green.
Most of them, long since turned grey.
The rest, I've never seen.
I lost it all quite early,
As was to be my fate.
But as a fan of romance,
I never chose to wait.
I did escape, and often.
But never flew away.
I hoped to see the colors.
Perhaps, by chance, someday.
That's why I've come full circle.
Who knows what track I'm on?
Journeys once of many days,
Now end before the dawn.
Whatever thoughts may plague me,
I've wings to fly away.
A quiver full of arrows,
To pen mark every day.
With much to write, and often.
And less to dwell upon;
I have not missed my calling,
To be a Warrior Swan.
Your title captured me and your poem took me to Sherwood Forest. Imagining some adventurous young man on a journey to fulful his true destiny but with heavy heart, disapointment and optimism in his quiver. Thank you (10 from me)
The swan, such beauty, such grace, spread your wings and fly. Sail on the wind, soar through the air and look down upon those who try to humble you. Great write. Andrew
Quite interesting looking both to the past and into the future. I particularly favor these lines: 'Whatever thoughts may plague me, I've wings to fly away.'
An uplifting and adventurous poem Greeney! Thank U for the share! ! ! *10*! ! Best always! Friend Thad
a warrior swan. I like this one, love the title. very well done.
Incredibly imaginative.....always like the use of colour imagery...and the idea of a swan becoming a warrior is a very entertaining thought. Although I am not a big fan of rhyme I would still like to see this in print on paper somewhere.
I thought this was brilliant, you have a wonderful way of expression and magical ability to create amazing imagery. Like it 10 <<< no 9's best wishes GW62 jon.

Okay... Warrior Swan - but Wolfey of course you have not missed your calling... I'm just worried for the swan... don't they get dizzy going full circle? I hope the colours do not turn to sepia turns of grey for you this time
