Found an angel
Burned its wings,
I strangled their throat
So they cannot sing.

Damn angels
They are always around
Can't they go away?
Or let me have them drown?

Flying about
Like they're a friggin airplane,
How come I never see them walking about
With a bum leg and a cane?

Found an angel
Burned its wings,
How come you never find one
Where both ways the door swings?

Found an angel
Burned its wings,
Now where did all that hope go
That it always seems to bring?

Found an angel
Burned its wings,
I strangled their throat
So they could not sing.

Good poem here! I liked it a lot! Very original. I like the title and those lines in the poem. Very nicely composed.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Nice poem. I can understand where you're coming from but I have to agree with Child of the Stars.

Wow, so many great poets in one place...nice work. But I must agree with 'Carly' as well, though it is YOUR form of expression and as long as it comes from the heart it will always be right.

This poem is interesting, and that last reply has me thinking this isn't so deep after all???  Well, anyway, I think it's well expressed.

hmmmm......very interesting thing to do
I just don't understand why you'd wanna do such a thing
I love the poems as a whole, but it does bother me to know you feel this way
i'll have to talk to you bout this one

JUSTINE!!  shhhh... how dare you reveal my inspirations like that. you ought to be ashamed!!   Thanks for the replies, i kind of wrote this in part because my aunt died and she loved angels and she's suppose to be my angel but it doesn't look like she's helping me any right now. but thanks for everyone's concern   your generosity is appreciated. lol
