The Racing Pigeon Poem by Liam ó Comáin

~
Crossing marathon and
Lesser distances over
Terrain of various type
On journeys back to
Palatial and other abodes,
Facing obstacles alive
And inanimate.
~
A unique example of ones
Love for ones home
Irrespective of the means
Of unravelling the reality
Of their release into
Environments unknown.
~
So let us toast the bird
Of all birds at the heart
Of the sport of all sports-
The sport of the gods-
That is the racing pigeon!
