+flight+++ Poem by Marieta Maglas
+flight+++
If the sacred kingfisher flies,
It will frantically flap its wings to
The sand of the sea
To make this deep curve be a kind of rainbow.
Its flight can be like a deep, steady wing that beats
The air to fly higher and higher.
Its wings seemingly bite the air.
So skilled at flying
Is the sacred kingfisher
And so naturally suited to the sky that
It can make this deep curve a kind of rainbow.
From that deep curve comes its screams
And the bleeding rain,
While the bird is frantically flapping its wings
To eat its silent prey,
And to become a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly
Any longer.

I was immediately captured by your poems imagery. (10 from me)
i could almost see it all happen! the flight, theswoop and the prey.
What a striking curve, the kingfisher performed to swoop down and kill its prey. Very imaginative.
flight becoming the prey...a new imagination...presented with lovely imagery...10
the flight of the bird carrying the whole weight of existence is well portrayed here...
