Sweet Pigeon

Sigh. This is so, so lovely, John. *

"Flutter into my room." Gorgeous! And the quote, whoa. I want to know more about that.*

Thanks so much Kathy and Emily. I have a picture of the pigeon but sadly am not smart enough to know how to upload it here.

Aw, that's a shame. You know, when this place first opened up for business, you were given the option to upload a picture with your story. it was so fun and cool! I guess there were copyright issues or something, but I loved that. (I don't know how to do it on my own either!)

Clouds will spin like madmen. ***

This is lovely and that last stanza is gorgeous. "*"

I'm not sure why, but this poem has the feel of a translation from another language. Maybe because your choice of words is transcendent.

Thanks Kathy, Tara, Kyle and Gita. I'm glad you think that, Gita, because English wasn't Tesla's first language. I wanted a sense of that.

I actually hadn't picked up on that, John, but rereading, yes, I see it. "clouds will spin like madmen" is such an extraordinary line.

Perfect antidote to the other one, the anonymous one that's often used to shock. *****

I see what Gita said. A strange poignance.

Beautiful.*

*, John. Stunning.

Thank you guys so much. Means so much. (I'm not sure which one you're talking about Mathew?)

Lovely, John. Simple. Stark and not begging for reader's emotion.

A certain Zen peacefulness.

Thanks Lucinda and Daniel. I'm delighted you like it.

"Clouds will spin like madmen."
Wow! fabulous and inspiring piece! *
