The Flock

The sun did sting, on a summers morn,
when walk the street I did, for seasons joy,
and came across a flock of bobbing heads,
a gaggle of cooing pigeon pies,
high-stepping with amorous notes,
a mass of interchangeable nodding domes,
feathers like a bed of many colors, writhing.

Each passer by, the flock took flight,
their shadow cloaked that beating sun,
flapping feathers, escaped to lines and boughs,
their incessant chatter, ongoing,
and their mark profound before my steps,
in textured white small mounds,
sidestepped I, and passed them by, a furtive glance, goodbye.

Like a thrashing breeze they returned to ground,
cooing, prancing up and down,
like the street had come alive in rolling waves of feather frenzy,
and I, pleased for untainted clothes, no marble gifts,
journeyed on, stepping to shade
and ever looking upward,
per chance a wise friend's sharing.

That's a funny poem. I'm finally home and relaxed enough to be looking for my friend. I lived through a "historic" snow storm with more than 3 ft of snow, but today the new storm has brought 74 inches I am 6 ft tall and 74 inches is 7 ft. That's a lot of snow. Lucky us.

That's a lot of snow my friend. How are you, it was a long time to be away from home. Must be good to get back. I love travelling but its always good to get home, where the heart is. I've been writing and working hard and getting lots of accolades from my new sites for poetry. We'll catch up on Bubblews too. Thanks for dropping by my humble site.

I noticed the plural of site for accolades are there new ones for me to look at?

I'm writing for both Writers Network and All Poetry for poetry, and have posted a few poems on Elite Visitors, where quite a few Bubblers have gone. It was set up by ex Bubblers. They pay views and comments. I've not done much there, but have attracted over 100 followers with just a few posts. The poetry sites keep me busy. Take care.
