A Petal and a Pidgeon

2008 Valentines Poem

A Petal and a Pidgeon

A special time for caring
The pre-planned day of love
Some with perfect pairing
The gentle coo of Dove

But what of lonely Pigeon?
So tender is his heart
Nay law neither religion
Will tear his hope apart

Could cactus’ and roses
Share a sweet caress?
Their forbidden love encloses
The mark of their transgress

But what of all souls blinded?
Would it matter much to them?
Both plants long thorns are minded
Each need water at their stem

And so the cactus flowers
Beauty too exquisite to be told
The presence it empowers
Out rules fierce laws that of old

Now said Pigeon sits and ponders
Will Dove notice his pained plight?
Whilst saddened Dove still wonders
Who will join her in life’s flight?

Two not so different worries
Two not so different ave’s
Their love should be a flurry
If not friendship for an age

A special time for pairing
Matter not if laws have bound
A way to give to those all caring
A way to tell them love is found

*tear*
I am a tomboy, really, so I've no idea if this is what a romance poem should look like...
Hmmn.

Pleeeeeeeeease rate and review. It would give me some confidence to write some more...
And it also puts lovely shiny spots on my ego XD
(Do girls even have an ego?)

love it! I like the message behind this. I'm always a "where there is a will, there is a way" kinda girl so this poem about ignoring laws of nature is very cute. but on a more serious note the writing is great as well, wonderful way to carry out the message. i would say witty poem, with good diction!
