If I Had Wings

If I had the wings of a bird,
I would scatter them, I would fly
Always forward, never backward.
I'd reach to taste the bluest sky.

Against the mighty wind I'd stand.
Just for one second of grandure
My wings again I would expand,
To meet the ocean's pure azure.

But even though I would feel free,
My soul, my heart would miss my home.
And in the end I would return
To the place that I come from,
'Cause there is something I would learn:
That home is where I long to be.

Very nice. While I was reading it I was thinking of Maximum Ride. I was thinking about it because

1. She's a winged bird child.

2. But also, she talks a lot about "home" and because she is on the run all the time, she doesn't really have one. I think she would really relate to your poem.

I wish I had wings too. GREAT POEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much! Oh, I haven't read that book, but I searched it on Google and it seems like a good read. I'll look for it in the bookstores.

Wow. I'm sorry that I don't have anything productive to say about this poem. It was just excellent! I'm usually not picky or anything when I read poetry, because it is very individualistic and personal. I simply liked everything about it.
Keep up the good work!

Thank you, Alex!

I loved this poem. And I also thought of Maximum Ride (awesome books!) while reading this. I wish that I had wings, you make it seem so magical and I like the images I got while I read it. Keep writing.

Thank you kindly, Amanda!
