Saving The Doves Poem by James Timothy Jarrett

Saving The Doves

Rating: 5.0


Spiraling down

With broken wings

Shot sure to it's mark

The hard ground beneath

Comes fast to meet you

We followed you

To find

A fragile bird

With broken wing

Dragged in the dirt

Limping, unable to fly

We tried to save you

From hard, capable hands

That quickly snuffed your life

Jim, some poets can, with so few words draw the reader into the world of their own written creation, and you with this one took me along. You make the pain and helpless sadness so real, which is typical of your special talent. Well chosen slow phrases make this first rate.
