He could have chosen to fly alone
light as air, weightless as feather
He could soar higher, go farther
on his own. But he brought me along
on his fantastical ride
– loneliness would not weigh him down –
He and I, we journey as one.

DVERSE POETS’ PUB Poetics prompt. We are writing a piece inspired by the paintings of Jackie Hurlbert.
P.S. Another one –
every word you say
acquire a life of its own
careful what you tweet.

Beautiful poem and the picture is wonderful. So freeing are both of them.
Thank you Imelda

I like how the bird could have chosen to fly alone but didn’t.
This is so beautiful. I like that the blue bird had a choice.
A lovely collaboration. (K)
Wonderful interpretation of Jacquline’s art. Well written Imelda.
Thanks, Rob. 🙂
