An Avian Abecedarian

Piece of advice- never give up.

An extremely lost

Bird flies high up in the 

Clouds, flies in a 

Daze, but

Eager to be 

Found again.

Golden feathers top its

Head, with golden plumage flowing like

Ichor down its body, but its missing its

Joie de vivre*. The bird wants to

Kick back at

Life for being so

Melancholic, for

Not caring at all. It feels as if Life is

Over, feels as if there is no

Possible reason to keep flying. It is certainly

Quick to come up with this 

Reason of life, so it sadly

Surrenders and falls

To earth. The bird knew, it was most 

Unlikely that Death would

Vanish, that someone

Would save it. Its life would be completely

X-ed out, and the long

Years would pass on without it. The bird's life seem to have

Zero effect on this world, this Time.

Suffice it to say, the bird was wrong.

The bird gave up

Thinking there was no alternative.

There always is.

Everyone deserves to be

Alive, and not

Falling to the deaths, thinking

There is no hope for them.

Reviews

[Michael G.]

A well formed, well written poem.
I've toyed with using the alphabet form, but not to this extent. I applaud your work and your imagination.
The flow is good and the story line is also excellent.
Good write.
