Pope Smoke ... !

12 lines ............

A Seagull family,

Father, Mother and chick,

perch on ancient 

roof tiles,

waiting patiently

at 

the Sistine smokestack.

White Smoke bellows!

Cheers erupt in St. Peter's Square!

...Hopeful Signs

in a World gone Mad ...

... ?

____________

Pope Leo XIV

An American.

Take that Donald!

Is it billows or bellows or does it make a difference. Appreciate your hopefulness in this poem. My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus and His righteousness. Thanks for the review of my sub-mission.

Popemobile, pope-on-a-rope soap and now pope smoke they keep adding to the Vatican gift shop. Does it really matter who holds that office? Because the more they say change, the more everything stays the same. Great writing, my friend.
