Warrior Swan Poem by GREENWOLFE 1962
Warrior Swan
Born a Virgin Diplomat
To die a Warrior Swan.
Most of them just didn't fit,
The guises I put on.
I wished for all life's colors.
Broad purple, pink, and green.
Most of them, long since turned grey.
The rest, I've never seen.
I lost it all quite early,
As was to be my fate.
But as a fan of romance,
I never chose to wait.
I did escape, and often.
But never flew away.
I hoped to see the colors.
Perhaps, by chance, someday.
That's why I've come full circle.
Who knows what track I'm on?
Journeys once of many days,
Now end before the dawn.
Whatever thoughts may plague me,
I've wings to fly away.
A quiver full of arrows,
To pen mark every day.
With much to write, and often.
And less to dwell upon;
I have not missed my calling,
To be a Warrior Swan.
Very nicely put! One usually thinks of swans in terms of their graceful beauty, not their courage, so the title really intrigued me, and I had to read on. If this was really your 'first poem, ' you got off to a 'flying start! ' And I'm glad you are still 'flying! '
Virtually flawless metreing/fluxion....Intriguing storyline...One thought: (a matter of flavor) i'd like to see the 5th stanza, as your closing stanza....despite the fact that you would be closing out without the title re-appearing as was a good choice. Overall, solid cratsmanship. ~ FjR ~ ..2008..
An uplifting and adventurous poem Greeney! Thank U for the share! ! ! *10*! ! Best always! Friend Thad
Quite interesting looking both to the past and into the future. I particularly favor these lines: 'Whatever thoughts may plague me, I've wings to fly away.'
a warrior swan. I like this one, love the title. very well done.
Incredibly imaginative.....always like the use of colour imagery...and the idea of a swan becoming a warrior is a very entertaining thought. Although I am not a big fan of rhyme I would still like to see this in print on paper somewhere.
I thought this was brilliant, you have a wonderful way of expression and magical ability to create amazing imagery. Like it 10 <<< no 9's best wishes GW62 jon.
