Carrier Pigeon
a soldier's hope54 total reviews
Comment from SkyBluePink
This was an extremely interesting read.
It flowed so easily, and was an easy read for me to experience.
Knowing this was a pigeon being held by a soldier hoping for salvation from the battle, you were able to help me understand and almost feel the feeling he was going through before he let go of this mighty messenger!
You did an outstanding job and I thoroughly enjoyed my read.
Thanks for sharing it with us!
Keep writing!

I found this beautiful poem so touching. The topic of carrier pigeons rendered with compassion and tenderness. I found your author's notes helpful; but the poem easily stood on its own due to its powerful crafting. Best wishes...Bev

Alas I have no sixes left - I can just imagine the soldier holding this bird and feeling its heartbeat - the bird flying for its life and the life of the soldier. Very well portrayed. thanks for sharing. jennieclare

Avoid every aim buffeted by wind...
DART......
Save me fellow life within my hands.....
A prayer spoken from the sender..
To the traveler....
I hold the bird so reverently now...
My hands feel its fragility...
Go my fellow stout winged warrior..
Save me from my fate...
A very different outlook....

Yes Bryan, I guess I do tend to have different outlooks. I appreciate you noticing.

I could almost feel the softness of the pigeon in your respectful hands as you ready it to carry your message. What a lovely, strong phrase : "...my fellow stout winged warrior. What striking contrasts in fragility and strength. I was touched by this poem. My best regards, Jeanie Mercer

Hi Victor,
This is a great metaphorical poem and one I enjoyed from the first word to the last. The ending verse is difficult to read with a dry eye as I can envision the soldier pleading for more life to come. An accomplished poem....chey

You have great artwork and your arthor notes are superb-you have a good flow with your poem and write with emotion about this bird that you hold in your hand and realize that you must let him go--but you want to be saved from your fate--well done.

I remember pigeons were trained to send messages by soldiers during WW11, and were quite successful too. I can picture the soldiers praying for the pigeon to reach its destination safely. The poem is interesting to read and has good form.

Comment from jadapenn
This poem is so touching and fragile. I say fragile because the life of man depends upon this tiny bird for deliverance. You really gave a good message and conveyed the faith the soldier put in his feathered friend.
Thank you for sharing. It was beautiful. luv jada
