A crystal wing
Flutters for its shattered partner,
Six legs limping across a perfect surface; from above,
A pitying eye
Looks down, wondering how to ease the struggle –
Lays a soft tissue on the injured:
A blinding flash of pain – and then
Peace.
Hope you guys enjoyed that! Β This is only my 3rd piece of poetry on here (you can find my haiku attempt here and another abstract piece here) so tell me what you think, I do want to improve π
Btw thank you guys for all the nominations for awards, I really appreciate them and I’m sorry they’re still not out yet, I’ve been so busy! Β I’ll get round to them, I promise.
Until then!
Writing poetry is an act of courage.
Hope you’re ok over there and that all your friends and loved ones are safe and sound

Thank you π I agree, pouring out your thoughts and feelings for the world to see is an act of courage! But killing others is an act of cowardice.

A very nice and poem. I like that it doesn’t need to rhyme in order to assert itself. The rythym and narrative speak for themsleves as flowing and with a deep message as well. Thanks for sharing.
