Swan Song

Contributed by JakerBaker88 on Wednesday, 27th January 2010 @ 09:42:24 PM in AEST
Topic: SadPoetry

Feathers like snowflakes,
Diving down deep
Plunging into the core of things:
Your swan dive never grows old.

Scenery paled in comparison
To such a pretty maid;
Soft features marked her face,
And it was no wonder why----
Beauty was her proprietor.

Standing on the shore,
I gazed at your glory:

“Sweet Swan,” said I---
“How elegantly you move
To and fro across the water.
How coyly you romp
This way and that across the water.
How wonderful you seem
To someone like me! For I am---
Nobody.”

"Oh, Lovely Lady," said I.
"If I were more like you,
And less like me
Think how happy I would be?
And Aphrodite would agree,
I‘d be deserving of a mate;
She’d smile upon my loneliness
Releasing a fair prince,
Upon a fair princess."

Yet, I am not fair.
I am big feet,
Lanky limbs,
And goofy grins.
I am your polar opposite----
The pigeon to your swan.
Pathetic.

(All this resounded in my mind,
Whilst standing on the shore,
Gazing at the Swan. )

My last thoughts:

Why couldn’t that be me?
Feathers like snowflakes,
Diving down deep
Plunging into the core of things,
Resurfacing into the arms of a lover?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
