Winging (Duo-rhyme)--By Connie Marcum Wong--United States

Winging (Duo-rhyme)

I feel so blessed to view the sky,
To watch God’s majestic birds fly;
To hear them wake, begin to sing,
Then leave their tree limbs on the wing.
As winter season turns to spring
Mating birds hunt for twigs and string
To build a nest for mothering.
Soon what joy little eggs will bring
When these new fledglings learn to fly
And leave their wing prints in the sky.

*Dedicated to the late Mary L. Ports who created this lovely form.

    1. Thank you Sara. I had great difficulty leaving comments here in the past from my computer, but now it seems I can reply without sending my reply to Karen to have her post if for me. I appreciate your comment and I am very happy for everyone who lives where it snows that spring has finally arrived. Aloha, Connie

    1. What a beautiful reply! Thank you so much. I am very pleased you enjoyed my little Winging poem, but it is Mary who's form it is, who gets the credit for she inspired this poem. She has passed on but left us with her gifted poetry form. I appreciate your encouragement and I will look for your poetry as I am sure you write by this message. Aloha, Connie

  4. Dear Connie,
    First, thank you for introducing me to this new form. I like it very much. Truly enjoyed the images of the birds building their nests and waiting for the "fledglings" to leave their "wing prints in the sky." Beautiful imagery! As many people are thanking God that spring has arrived, I'm just happy to be here to enjoy poetry. Florida is too warm now, but winter was wonderful. Hope the weather in Hawaii is nice for Easter. Love and blessings, Carolyn

  6. Connie, I could well picture the Spring scene and want to thank you for a well written and enjoyable read. With your poem, I can still hear the birds singing from the trees outside my bedroom window early in the morning as the sun rises and joy fills my heart as I am reminded of the pleasure of waking up to the world a happy place. Thank you for sweet memories and your talent.
    Love, Charlene.
