I was just soaring
and wearing my
worth


when you clipped my
wings with your
words


tail-spinning, I
careened toward
Earth


you laughed as I
crashed, then
burned


stunned, I cried
because it
hurt


.


so I wrapped myself
in bloodied
wings


and wondered why
you’d say such
things


I was just an angel
trying to
sing


and I had nothing
but love to
bring


I surveyed my
busted wings,
crying


.
then someone whispered,
but, angel, you are
seraphim


you have wings to spare,
and you will fly
again.


.


so here I am


.

No, I don't see you as busted.  Maybe injured, but always incredible!  That's how I see you, girly with the brown eyes that sparkle.

PS - I gotta tell you in it's own little box of blue -- that is one heck of a poem.  It's incredible too.

Yo dear Shellie,

I would avoid the extra white space in this poem.

Love Bobby

~ And you still are an angel and your poetry sings.

May those spirit wings of yours keep you forever aloft, my dear ss!

I love the style you are writing in and the presentation it makes.  The spacing gives me an open-air feeling, a very appropriate place for flight.   Very smooth... A pleasure to read.

Thank you everyone for your warm comments on this poem.


My presentation has been called to question by my tutors     and all I can say is that there were reasons for the formation and spacing...These words just needed to breathe     


misce       Thanks for experiencing it the way I did.

you have wings to spare,
and you will fly
again.

I kept changing my mind and copying different lines... but love the spirit of these! *S* Beautiful work!!
