Tree Swallow

Posted byJJJ Interactive BooksPosted inPoemTags:, , , , 
Black shadow set against morning sun;
flitting, flapping, flying
in my direction.

          A glint of blue 
          before fleeing skyward.

Swirling, soaring, swooping,
skimming the pond 
by which I stand.

          Looping, lifting, landing
          in a nearby tree.

  6. Your use of alliteration and the form of your poetry captured me. Wonderful imagery, I was there in the moment with the movement, and at the word ‘tree’ I felt myself stop – waiting, wanting to feel the take off again – really nice done Jennifer
