Sometimes words just enters, so I wrote the down immediately tonight. The bird I saw a bird carry both the strength and the tongue of a man, cause its wings was stronger than his spine And as it flew up there with the gifts it bore It wept a tear of blood
Sometimes words just enters, so I wrote the down immediately tonight.
The bird
I saw a bird carry both the strength and the tongue of a man,
cause its wings was stronger than his spine
And as it flew up there with the gifts it bore
It wept a tear of blood
Strong Image in it wept a tear of blood.
I almost shed a tear myself when that line spoke to me
So beautiful. For some reason your poem reminds me of Oscar Wilde’s The Happy Prince.
Thank you 🙂 Oscar Wilde – the happy prince is beautiful, I want to read that now
My O’ my, how you do hit a resonant chord with this short write. You are in tune without ever making a sound…
Reblogged this on Rebell Red Arts and commented:
got birds on the mind tonight
Smallest poem but indeed with a deep and great effect and impact on mind… love it!
This was truly beautiful 🙂
Intriguing — not the usual juvenile angst parading as poetry. Many thanks for following my blog. Will be an honor to follow yours as well.

Beautiful poem
Thank you
Great!The poem has vivid images and strong emotions. Love your blog! Thanks for the follow too! Great to connect with you!
It may be small, but it is very powerful. The imagery and the last line will stick with me for the rest of the day.
I too have experienced profound insights that just appeared in my mind. From what I have read these may be messages that will have more relevance in the future. Perhaps you have been given a glimpse into the future.
“It wept a tear of blood.” brought tears to my eyes as well. I am now following your blog.
Cheers,

Lovely.
Thanks for following my blog. I love to hear from skilled poets! I’ll be writing a response to your poem and posting it tonight. I hope you’ll check it out and tell me what you think of it.
Strong image, indeed. Your last line, especially. Looking forward to read more from you.
I like it, but it could be shorter!
Really your poem was straight to the point. Thanks for following my blog
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your poem on the bird is super cool.
strength and speech of man – flight and tears; I love the semi-comparison between these, especially because I don’t typically associate tears (of blood) with words and this highlighted the communication in actions; pretty imagery (:
thank you for looking at my blog, I liked your poem, sometimes less is more and some poems can get spoiled by overcrowding with unnecessary words, well done.
thanks for checking me out and carry on writing
MesAyah,
Hey man, I just checked out your blog and I have to say, good stuff.
I liked the symbolisms you put in, as well as the saga itself.
A definite good read.
Cheers,
