Feathered Vanity by ~artistic-poet:iconartistic-poet:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Nature > Fixed




Proudly they sit,
Floating on water,
Running their beaks,
Through their feathers.

"Oh, how gorgeous we are"
They admire themselves,
In their rippled reflections,
On the glassy, mirror-like surface.

They stay on the water,
To hide their legs,
And their strange,
Backwards knees.

Ah, the swans,
How vain they are,
Sparrows and finches,
Are far sweeter.

For ~writeaway's monthly competition. This one has a simple word prompt of "Vanity" [link]

Comments much appreciated :)

*EDIT*
...I forgot to mention that the picture is not mine. I wanted something to give it greater depth & to draw you in more, so I got it off google images :blush: =P

O_O Awesome pic! Did you take that?

Oh and you already know what I feel about this poem, so I'll just leave it at that. :)

God has blessed us with so much, but how often do we take the time to truly appreciate and be grateful for something? Or to say thank you? Be thankful and remember it's better to give than to take. :)

Across the face of the Earth, her ruby cheeks shone; Winds of whisper buried seeds of rumor, made her secret well grown.
