Birds of a Feather

The uninformed masses

Within birds allegoric profitory
Of bones, soul and mind
Follow hearts and instinct conspire 
Just like men who ne'er question, “why”

 

Waiting, running idle
Seems of senseless whims
Birds of a feather flock together
Chasing wayward winds

And fly to find further meanings

Here deep within the mindless feast

Upon a carcass of mentality
Supplement from another's intelligence and beliefs

Of birds and men; bewonderment
Passing time as truth absent curiosity
Instinct will surely survive yet without self-conscious
Neither can ever quite achieve

Very deeply moving with great metaphors and wonderful magical imagery. You are a poet's poet! Wonderful write!

[Michael G. Smith]

Sometimes when I'm in my mood where I go back and read the classic poets I try to mimic there style of writing and wording and I also like bringing birds into the metaphors, you might notice that among my poetry.

This is pure truth and emotion- very very deep. "Just like men do not question why" Such a good way to put it. Great ending, well expressed throughout the whole thing yet left it a mystery for someone to figure out. Great work

I have to say I dig your profile picture. It makes me think about the recesses of the maddening mind. I'm a curious "Why" guy. I am always asking questions Wanting to know why and why things are and how they work. This drives my wife crazy frustrating her. I try to remind her of this being my nature and not to take

It looks like your sentence cut off- but yeah thanks so much thats what I thought about the picture! :) And I'm always wondering why/how things work to- I think it's good to question the world, it's not a bad thing.

Blackened feather flocks do scatter
At sights upon their eve own shadows.

A deeply expressed poem. Intellegently write.
