AmyMichelleMosier Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 A milky-eyed mourning dove Sat upon a tombstone - tacit - Inside the grounds of St. Francis To admire a cache betroved. A sentinel's duty - it bears - Not broken by a morning beam - Even the shuffle of the wind Could not disturb the atmosphere. The dove - it eyed me peacefully - Let out a feathered sigh. I felt it - walking on by - That blessed serenity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Albert Barr Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I'll second that "Lovely". Also, "Let out a feathered sigh" is a great line, and wonderfully delicate observation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W. Parsley Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Amy, the dove brings a Holy Ghost like presence to the poem that is genuine and touching. Nice! - David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
