Here's my response for NaPoWriMo's day nine response. If you want to participate, you can view the prompt here. The assignment today is to make a visual poem and so I formed my poem to replicate how sparrows fly and skitter to and fro.

SparrowBy Brittany Mishra
Muddled feathers and wings
Down
the tree
Aged
as bark
Spackled
brown
They
wear the sky
Blue
cape
And cloud hood
Yellow
sun shoes
Beyond the feathered mound
Straw
and twig
Woven
into love
Wherever they lay
Wherever
they fly
Their wings clothed by sky
Whether
alive among the nest
Or
fallen eternal among the grass
Brown and tan
Plain song
And humbled breast
Their
feathers fold the sky to rest.
I LOVE this. It's perfect.
ReplyDeleteClever way of going about it! Very ... er ... skittery, indeed!
ReplyDeleteIt really describes sparrows and illustrates their movements quite well! Great job!
