Italian Octave. This is difficult to write.


Pelicans Flight

At the sandy shores of island secrets
Flying skyward gliding on a sea wind
Seeking acting as an airborne whirlwind
A Winged predator dives downward Heedless

Of thrashing waves swirling water deepness
Gliding speeding towards destiny dined
Scooping beak opens to capture as defined
Gathering whole its squirming fishy treat

Perhaps it is good to remember that the classic forms are hard, and take time and effort.

This is masterful, I love the theme, watching pelicans whirl and flash and crash in the sea, this is magical.

Through the pelicans eyes......of our imagination of being that pelican. I love this, Kee. It is very good, well done. And for me, personally, it appeals to my senses. You can write anything and are wise to the power of words-
This poetry, for me, is like, soothing to my soul.
Thank you, my friend.
