Penguin And Poet Poem by ONElia AVElar

Penguin And Poet

Rating: 3.6


What is in common
between
a Penguin and a Poet?
You may guess
the PEN?
Or the bizarre
Dress Code?
I think they both,
like Fallen Angels
from the Heaven
with hints of Wings
are walking thoughtful
on the Earth
and only
while swimming
in the Ocean
(of Words) :
they leave the Earth
show Wings in Action,
in Swimming - Flying,
nimbleness,
(nimbuses) ,
a heavenly Strength...

The analogy of the penguin 'flying' freely in the water and the poet swimming amongst a sea of words is both striking and engaging. The essence of freedom abounds for both...Perhaps the the black and white of the penguin corrresponds to the poet's black ink on a white page too...just a thought... j xx
